Yoga Poses for Gas and Bloating
Let's explore a holistic and natural approach to relief from gas and bloating.

Wind-Relieving Pose (Pavanamuktasana)

Wind-relieving pose is a simple yet effective yoga asana to relieve gas and bloating. "Lie flat on your back and bring one knee towards your chest, wrap your arms around it. Hold the position for several breaths, then switch to the other leg. This yoga pose helps stimulate digestion and release trapped gas in the digestive tract. ,” Akshar said.

Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana)

A seated forward bend stretches the entire back of the body, including the digestive organs. “Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you, then bend forward from the hips, reaching toward your feet. Keep your spine straight and breathe deeply. This pose improves digestion by massaging the abdominal organs and relieving tension in the digestive system,” said Akshar.

Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana)

“The cat-cow pose is a gentle flowing movement that promotes flexibility of the spine and massages the abdominal organs,” said Akshar. Start on your hands and knees, arch your back like a cat and drop your belly toward the floor like a cow. This rhythmic motion stimulates digestion and helps relieve gas and bloating.
