Boost Digestion This Winter with These Simple Yoga Poses

Cold weather often slows digestion, leading to bloating, gas, and discomfort

Practicing yoga helps keep your gut active, improves metabolism & supports overall digestive health. Here are a few simple poses to try:

Pawanmuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose)

This pose helps release trapped gas and eases bloating. Lie on your back, bring your knees close to your chest, and hug them tightly. It gently massages the digestive organs and enhances bowel movement.

Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Spinal Twist)

This twisting pose stimulates the liver and intestines, helping the body detox and digest food efficiently. It also promotes better nutrient absorption and relieves constipation.

Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose)

By lifting the hips upward, this pose boosts blood circulation and stimulates the abdominal organs, helping with sluggish digestion.

Apanasana (Knees-to-Chest Pose)

Known for its soothing effect, this pose improves bowel function and eliminates toxins from the digestive tract.

Balasana (Child’s Pose)

This gentle resting posture relieves abdominal tension, reduces stress, and calms the digestive system.

Practice these poses on an empty stomach and pair them with warm water or herbal tea for a healthy, digestion-friendly winter.
