Yoga, particularly twisting and abdominal poses, can stimulate intestine muscles, encouraging waste movement and alleviating symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Here are a few yoga poses.
Cobra is one of the key yoga poses for constipation because it gently presses on the abdomen and is a staple in many classes.
Bow Pose applies pressure to the abdomen to help stimulate and maintain regularity.
Ardha Matsyendrasana's twisting motion is thought to promote movement along the digestive tract and to stimulate the muscles of the abdomen.
Bharadvajasana is a yoga pose that puts pressure on the abdomen and helps to clear constipation.
The Plow inversion compresses abdominal organs differently than twists and can stimulate movement.
Research consistently indicates that a squatting position is the most efficient method for eliminating waste with minimal strain.
Lying down and practicing twists provide similar benefits as seated twists but with less effort and lower back strain.
