If you are feeling bloated and uncomfortable it is never fun, but fear not – your yoga mat can make you feel relaxed. Yoga offers a range of poses that can help soothe your tummy troubles and ease that bloated feeling. So, roll out your mat, take a deep breath, and let’s flow through some yoga poses that can aid you in beating the bloat.
In an interaction with Only My Health, Dr Ganesh Chaudhary, BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurveda Medicine and Surgery), Primary Health Centre, Darbhanga, Bihar, suggested a few yoga poses that will help to prevent bloating.
Balasana
Start in a kneeling position, gently bring your forehead down to the mat, and stretch your arms out in front of you. This calming pose helps to release tension in the abdomen and encourages the release of trapped gas. Take slow, deep breaths and let your belly soften as you relax into the pose.
Supine Twist
Lie on your back, hug your knees to your chest, and then drop them to one side while keeping your shoulders grounded. This gentle twist helps in massaging the abdominal organs and promoting digestion. Hold each side for a few breaths, allowing your belly to feel the release.

Marjaryasana-Bitilasana
Come to a tabletop position with your wrists aligned under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.
As you inhale, arch your back and lift your head (Cow Pose). As you exhale, round your spine and tuck your chin (Cat Pose). This rhythmic movement massages the digestive organs, relieving bloating and gas.
Pawanmuktasana
Lie on your back and hug one knee at a time into your chest. Gently rock side to side to massage your lower abdomen. This pose helps to release excess gas and improve digestion. Plus, it’s super comforting.
Setu Bandhasana
Lie on your back with your feet hip-width apart and palms facing down. Press your feet and arms into the mat as you lift your hips towards the sky.
This pose stretches the abdomen and stimulates the organs, which can aid in reducing bloating.
Adho Mukha Svanasana
Start in a plank position, then lift your hips up and back, creating an inverted V-shape. This inversion helps to move gas through the digestive tract and can relieve bloating. Feel free to pedal your feet or bend your knees to get a deeper stretch.
Paschimottanasana
Sit with your legs extended in front of you, reach for your toes, and fold forward from your hips. This pose calms the nervous system and massages the abdominal organs, helping to ease bloating and digestive discomfort.
