Yoga For Indigestion Part 2

I was so motivated by the earlier video on yoga for indigestion that I decided to go out and google for more of such videos. I found this one that is a slight variation of the first. Listen to her explaination of the health benefits of each sequence in the pose.

 

Here is a list of various other yoga poses for indigestions. The names are all in sansrit. There are English names for these poses and they are called differently in yoga and pilates. Those who are not familiar with these exercises may not find the diagrams so useful. Ooops.

 

Yoga for Indigestion

I'm a huge fan of poses that can cure indigestion. The first pose in the video is also known as vajrasana. It is extremely useful have you are having a really bloated stomach and when you feel like the food is not digesting at all.  My ankles and knees usually protest when I get in that pose so I have to use a towel and some pillows.

The second pose on the forward bend is something that I've been trying to achieve for a long time as I'm not very flexible. This pose is also a yin yoga pose and I try to hold it for 5 minutes again. The other pose on the spinal twist is said to be good as you twisting your digestive system. It is like twisting and squeezing a towel till all the water comes out and this pose works in the same principle.
