How to Relieve Bloating (digestion & elimination) with Yoga

Yoga Poses to Relieve digestion & elimination

Pose: Spine Twist 

Lie on your back with your arms out to the sides at shoulder height and your legs extended. Then, bend and lift your right knee toward your chest, keeping your left leg on the floor and turn your head to the side so you’re gazing over your right shoulder. After this, slowly lower your right knee across your body to the left (you can place your left hand on it for a deeper stretch or to help hold it in position). Hold for several breaths, relaxing knee toward the floor as far as possible. Switch sides and repeat. 

How It Helps:

According to Ingber: “Twists work the abdominals, which are believed to aid in digestion and help with elimination.”
