Yoga Poses for Constipation and Balancing Navel Center

The benefits of yoga
When you think of yoga, you probably think of relaxing music and deep stretches. But this ancient art does a lot more. From decreasing the risk of postpartum depression to reducing levels of inflammation in people with heart failure, spending time on your yoga mat is beneficial, from your head to your toes.
And yes, that even includes your gut.
The most common cause of constipation, gas, and other tummy troubles has to do with our unhealthy, fast-paced lifestyle. Poor eating choices, stress, and hectic schedules can manifest in your digestive system as hard stools (as well as loose stools) or infrequent bowel movements.
How yoga can help constipation
Yoga can help ease the pain and discomfort of such digestive troubles. Yoga alleviates constipation in two ways:
Managing stress
First, it helps manage your stress response, which can greatly improve the functioning of your digestion system. You may notice that you’re more likely to get “blocked up” when you’re stressed out. Simply meditating and breathing deeply can help move things along.
Digestive massage

The second way yoga benefits your digestive system is through twisting poses, inversions, and forward folds. These poses massage your digestive organs, increase blood flow and oxygen delivery, aid the process of peristalsis, and encourage stools to move through your system. Doing yoga regularly can result in regular, healthy bowel movements.Yoga poses to relieve constipation
