Try these five yoga positions if you want to get rid of gas and bloating since they've been proven to be helpful in easing post-meal stomach pain and the pressure from trapped gas in your tummy. Do all of these positions just before or after eating, since they should all be done on an empty stomach. If you plan to perform any of these postures while pregnant, check with your doctor beforehand to make sure they won't be harmful to you or your unborn child.

 

The Forward Fold (Uttanasana)

 

Your digestive tract is stretched out in this position. The Forward Fold is very helpful if you have IBS, despite what might seem paradoxical (IBS). When you're gassy, IBS can induce cramping and stomach pain. By stretching your spine and massaging your internal organs to get them working freely, the Forward Fold helps to relieve these problems. Before standing back up, it's a good idea to take a few long, deep breaths in this position.

The Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana)

Try sitting with your knees together or in a butterfly position if you frequently bloat. Get your heels as near to each other as you can while lying on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat. Even though your knees will be in contact, attempt to maintain them as widely apart as you can to provide room for trapped gas between the thighs. Hold for 5 to 10 minutes at a time, paying attention to your breathing the entire time. Inhale deeply via your nose and exhale through your mouth, paying attention to lengthening each exhalation relative to the inhalation.

The Bow Pose (Dhanurasana)

Abdominal gas can be relieved with this position. Lay on your back with your legs bent to do it in the traditional Downward-Facing Dog pose. Then, grab onto your ankles while bending your elbows. To stabilize your spine, raise yourself off the ground while contracting your core muscles. While you hold this stance, your stomach should feel somewhat stretched. Hold it for a few minutes before gently emerging from it. Practice twice daily or anytime constipation causes significant bloating or gas.

Savasana

Savasana, the final posture in every yoga practice, is also known as corpse position. The palms of your hands should be up when you lay flat on your back. Open your eyes, then relax your face. By releasing the tension in your body's muscles and putting you in a calm state, this position helps to combat stress. Because it forces you to breathe deeply, it helps to relieve gas.

Wind-Relieving pose (Pawanmuktasana)

One of the straightforward yet useful yoga poses that can ease your digestive system is this one. Together with other digestive issues, it lessens constipation, inflammation, nausea, depressive symptoms, and exhaustion. Women's menstrual discomfort is also reduced with the use of the Wind-Relieving position. It requires that you lay on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground to complete. Thereafter, put your hands on your stomach (the lower part). Maintain as much calm as you can while grinning a little. Release all internal tension while breathing normally and forcelessly via both nostrils. Deeply inhale through both nostrils while maintaining posture for a short period of time. Breathe in slowly, then slowly out.
