Twisting Poses for Digestion

Twisting poses like Seated Spinal Twist and Revolved Triangle Pose help massage the internal organs and stimulate digestion. Twists promote circulation to the digestive system, improving metabolism and helping to relieve bloating and discomfort.

Child’s Pose (Balasana)

Child’s Pose is a gentle forward bend that helps reduce stress, which is often a cause of digestive issues. By promoting relaxation, this pose supports smoother digestion and can relieve symptoms of indigestion.

Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana)

Bridge Pose is excellent for stretching the abdominal muscles and stimulating the digestive organs. It helps improve blood flow to the intestines, supporting efficient digestion. Hold this pose for a few breaths, focusing on engaging the core.

Wind-Relieving Pose (Pawanmuktasana)

This pose is specifically designed to relieve gas and bloating. Lie on your back, bring one knee towards your chest, and hold it with your hands. Gently press the knee toward your stomach. This pose helps release trapped gas and improves digestion.

Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana)

The rhythmic movement between Cat Pose and Cow Pose massages the digestive organs and promotes healthy gut function. This sequence encourages peristalsis, the muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract.
