4 Yoga Asanas To Relieve Constipation

Constipation occurs when bowel movements become less frequent and stools become difficult to pass.

People who often suffer from gut health problems should include yoga in their daily routine. Here are some yoga asanas to try.

Tadasana

Stand on your feet slightly apart while keeping your balance on your feet. Raise your arms above your head and interlock your fingers with your palms facing up and keep your gaze ahead.

Vajrasana

For this pose, you need to kneel and then sit back on your legs to take the weight off your knees. Your buttocks should rest on the heels and your thighs should rest on your calve. Keep your spine straight and your palms resting on the knees.

Tiryak Bhujangasana

Lie on the stomach and separate the legs a few inches apart. Raise the heels and keep the toes tucked under so that your legs are rested on the ground. Then lift your upper body upwards but towards the left.

Udrakarshan Asana

Bend your knees and sit on the toes of both feet. Keep both hands on the knees. Now take a deep breath and while exhaling, keep the right knee on the ground near the left palm and bring your left knee towards the chest.
