3. Happy Baby Pose
The Happy Baby pose compresses the abdomen in a way that encourages the release of trapped gas. To do this, lie on your back and bend your knees toward your chest.
Reach for your ankles with your hands, holding each ankle firmly. Gently rock your knees from side to side while keeping your back flat on the floor. This rocking motion massages the intestines and helps move gas along the digestive tract, relieving bloating.
Maintain this pose for several minutes, breathing deeply to maximize relaxation and abdominal pressure.
4. Butterfly Pose
The Butterfly pose is particularly beneficial for opening the hips and improving digestion. Sit on the floor with your back upright, then bring the soles of your feet together, allowing your knees to fall out to the sides.
Keep your spine straight and gently lean forward from the hips, avoiding rounding your back. Hold this forward fold for a few minutes, feeling a stretch in your inner thighs and a gentle compression in your lower abdomen.
This position aids in releasing gas by stimulating circulation and relieving tension in the pelvic and abdominal areas.
