Yoga Routines for Digestive Relief and Gut Health
Bloating, acidity, and discomfort often start with stress. These gentle routines use targeted breathwork and specific poses to massage your abdominal organs and help your gut settle naturally.
Acidity is one of the most common complaints I hear, and it can truly spoil your day. This video introduces a few key asanas and breathing exercises that I teach to calm the digestive system and provide natural, long-term relief.
Stress and poor digestion are often linked to that uncomfortable burning sensation. Here, I demonstrate how poses like a spinal twist in Sukhasana and Trikonasana can gently massage your abdominal organs and calm your nervous system.
Yoga offers a natural way to manage acidity by improving the function of your internal organs. This routine includes poses like Yogamudrasana and Mandukasana, which apply gentle pressure to the stomach to improve digestion and aid the pancreas.
For those days when your gut feels stuck, this easy yoga flow can help. We move through Adho Mukha Svanasana to wake up the core, Malasana to release gas, and Baddha Konasana to calm the belly and support digestion.
If you experience bloating or discomfort, this gentle sequence is designed to help. It includes Tadasana to activate the digestive system, knee crunches to release trapped gas, and core massage to promote deeper circulation in the gut.
Constipation and bloating can be very uncomfortable. This video demonstrates 7 yoga asanas and mudras you can do right in your bed, including Mandukasana and Paschimottanasana, to soothe your gut and get things moving naturally.

Summer heat can often trigger acidity. This routine is designed to cool the digestive fire with poses like Malasana and Matsyendrasana, and cooling pranayama like Chandra Bhedan to provide natural relief.
Don't let acidity get the best of you. This sequence focuses on asanas like Mandukasana and Pawanmuktasana to stimulate digestive organs and release trapped gas, while Shitkari pranayama helps cool the system.
Heartburn and acidity can be especially tough in the heat. This routine, filmed by the water, focuses on Baddhakonasana to stimulate digestion and Matsyendrasana to balance stomach acids, helping you find relief.
About Yoga for Digestive Wellness
In our studio sessions, we don’t just focus on the poses. We use props like bolsters, bricks, and chairs to help you reach the right stretch without straining, specifically targeting the pressure points that soothe acidity and bloating. You will find that even a few minutes of consistent practice, using these props to support your body, makes a real difference in how your stomach feels after meals.
Digestive issues like acidity, bloating, and constipation are rarely just about the food we eat. In my experience at Namaste Yoga, these issues are often linked to how we carry stress in our bodies. When we are stressed, our digestive fire slows down, and our system feels sluggish.
Why Therapeutic Yoga Helps
My approach isn't about perfect alignment or high-intensity flows. We focus on 'Yoga for Real Life'. We use specific sequences like Mandukasana to gently press on the abdomen, which stimulates the pancreas and improves digestion. Pawanmuktasana is another staple in my classes; it’s excellent for releasing trapped gas and calming the gut after a heavy day.
How We Practice
Whether you are joining my Khar West studio or our live online classes, we emphasize three main elements:
- Prop-Assisted Movement: We use chairs and wall support so that even if you aren't flexible, you can perform these poses safely.
- Breathwork (Pranayama): Techniques like Kapalbhati and specific mudras help clear out the system and calm the nervous system, which is the root of most stomach acidity.
- Consistency over Intensity: You don't need an hour a day. We create routines that you can practice in your bedroom, using household items if you don't have props handy.
I’ve seen women come in feeling heavy and drained, and leave feeling lighter and more energized. You don't need to be perfect to start. You just need to show up.
