Yoga Poses for Digestive Health and Bloating Relief

Dhanurasana (Bow Pose) for a Full Abdominal Stretch. This pose stretches the entire front of the body and massages the abdominal organs, which helps get rid of bloating. I guide you on how to hold your ankles and lift your chest and thighs off the floor.

Vajrasana (Thunderbolt Pose): The Post-Meal Asana. This is the only asana I recommend practicing soon after a meal. I explain the correct way to sit, including a tip on toe placement based on your breath, to significantly improve your digestion.

Parivrtta Dandasana (Revolved Staff Pose). This seated twist puts gentle pressure on the abdomen, which helps improve digestion. I demonstrate how to lengthen your spine and twist from the lower back for maximum benefit.

Vakrasana (Half Spinal Twist) for Organ Health. The word 'Vakra' means twist, and this pose provides a gentle massage to your abdominal organs. I show you how to perform this seated twist to aid digestion and improve spinal health.

Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Lord of the Fishes Pose). This classic twist strengthens and increases flexibility in the spine while improving digestion. I provide clear instructions and contraindications for those who have had recent surgery.

Parivrtta Trikonasana (Revolved Triangle Pose). This is a twisted version of the triangle pose that is great for spinal flexibility and the digestive system. I explain how to maintain balance while twisting and opening the chest.

Parivrtta Ashta Chandrasana (Revolved Crescent Lunge). This balancing twist stimulates your internal organs, helping your body to better absorb nutrients. I guide you through the lunge and twist, ensuring proper alignment for stability.

Parivrtta Parsvakonasana (Revolved Side Angle Pose). This deep twist strengthens the legs while improving digestion and relieving constipation. I demonstrate the alignment to help you stretch the groin, shoulders, and chest.
