Adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are being randomized to a yogic breathing or control condition.

Participants in this group will be given access to the yogic breathing video at the end of the 4-week control period. IBS symptoms and autonomic and vascular function will be assessed at baseline and at the end of week 4 in both groups.
