Hi Sadie! This is wonderful! I was taught this - though with no realization of its connection to yoga - when I was a little girl. My mom taught me to roll my blanket into a ball, place it under my belly and rest on it when I had a stomach ache and of course I'd feel calm and soothed, but like you've said it's been wonderful for winding down after a stressful day or to just come down a bit. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Hi Sadie I tried this and could immediately felt a rush through me to where I almost felt like I was going to black out then became nauseated do you have an idea why this may have happened? It felt so good in the beginning. I did feel an immediate high feeling with in seconds. I have tried everything to help me sleep at night and nothing works.
Sadie, this might be a silly question but does this work as well for men? My boyfriend has trouble sleeping and does not dream I want to help him and prove to him that yoga works!! Please help me!
You're right about this helping cramps too. I've talked to many women who have used this, or something very similar, and had great cramp relief with it!
My stomach has been really upset since my Mom passed three weeks ago. I feel like all the stress is bottled inside of my abdomen. I learned this from another Yogi prior to seeing your video, but you actually inspired me to try it. It really relaxed my tummy and my mind. Love this.

@Neequu78 Hi darling! My thoughts are with you and your family now...and I'm happy to hear you're not letting it all stay bottled up inside you. Keep in touch, and keep doing the Belly Roll. Namaste. Sadie
I have struggled with an eating disorder most of my life. I was thinking that maybe food is used to stimulate this release in serotonin (subconsciously). Perhaps my body has been trying to self medicate. I had no idea this is where serotonin was stored. I have been taking SSRI's for years. I will try this exercise for a couple of weeks and see if my thinking is on the right track. thanks for sharing this with us!
@YogiLonnie Hey there--I find Nauli Kriya is more a yang technique, stimulating the digestive fire, or agni, and also therefore it's a central nervous system stimulating and waking posture. The Belly roll is cooling, yin, calming, and far more effective for those who are seeking calm, and sleep. Namaste!
i just tried this! Right now I'm so calm it's crazy! I feel like I have no more worries, im going to try this more often now :D thanks you're amazing! I live in Brooklyn too :D
@happi127166 Hey...Brooklyn Represent! I know--this one works like a charm! I'd like to thank Jill Miller, Leslie Kaminoff, Aarona Pinchison and all the teachers who have instructed me in this move so I might share it with you! xo
Hi dear Sadia so nice to see your video again, and before I try this I know you so right it help for people who cant sleep, I am so insomniac person can't sleep much so when I try sleep for 5 or 10mintes on my tummy then I feel so sleepy. thanks for sharing. we all love you.
I just finished five minutes and I feel really good! Two things, though: 1.) Be sure to empty your bladder before you try this...because I had to do so after 30 seconds on the ball. and 2.) I used a soccer ball that was somewhat deflated that way it wasn't too hard on my belly. Didn't need a blanket. Otherwise, thanks Sadie!
Rock on, Sadie!!! I can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge with us. More importantly, thank you for the "woot-woot" at the end. Awesome!!
@BONNELOPE Of course, baby! It's my pleasure to offer what I know to all of you! If you want more tips or to chat, make sure to join my FB page--SadieYoga! xoxo
Dear pretty, Sadie! Since the day I subscribed to you I've been feeling so great! You're the best, I love you because you take your take precious time helping others in need like me for instance! I don't know how to thank you other than to tell you that I love you very much for what you do... You've got a heart of gold, Keep the good work up, and take care now. xoxo
Thank you...you are always keeping it real and easily approachable. I love that you are looking out for us even in the simplest ways. I will give it a try and share with my yogi friends! ox
I'll definitely try out this pose! Thank you such much for your videos :) I suffer from anxiety disorder and your videos helped me a little bit. I hope one day I'll become such a relaxed person like you seem to be, I try to model myself on you, you have such a positive aura :)
@nytryder2k1 : Yep! Amp it up, because you've probably gotten used to your workout. Do some longer holds, more repetitions...don't worry about more time, just ask a little more from your muscles in the time you already do, and clean out your diet of anything extra that's crept in. You'll see changes! xo
Hello Sadie, This video of yours is awesome, I really taught you are cool.
