Beat Bloat with Yoga

Gold recommends starting from a reclining
position. "This gives you a chance to take a deep
breath and feel energized," she says. Then, she
progresses from seated to standing positions.
Some, like the bridge pose, are stretch moves
that stimulate your abdominal organs. Next are
twist poses that massage and tone your
abdomen—great therapy for gas, bloating, and
constipation. The remaining poses work out your
back, neck and spine. "You will feel less stress
when your nervous system is relaxed. The health
benefits will spread to the rest of your body and
ease your digestion," says Gold.
