7 Yoga Poses For Constipation

RIVANSHI RAKHRAI

Lie on your back and hug your knees to your chest, pressing them towards your abdomen. Rock gently from side to side to massage the lower abdomen and promote the release of gas and stool.

Pavanamuktasana

Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Hinge at the hips and fold forward, reaching for your toes or shins. This pose stretches the hamstrings and massages the abdominal organs, stimulating digestion and relieving constipation

Paschimottanasana

Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet hip-width apart. Press into your feet to lift your hips towards the ceiling, creating a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Hold the pose and breathe deeply to stimulate digestion and relieve constipation.

Setu Bandhasana

Marjaryasana-Bitilasana

Supta Matsyendrasana
