Wind Relieving Pose is an effective pose that helps in relieving gas, bloating, and promotes better digestion.
How to Perform Wind Relieving Pose:
- Starting Position: Lie down on your back with your legs extended and arms by your sides.
- Bring One Knee to Chest: Inhale, then bring your right knee towards your chest, hugging it with both hands.
- Hold and Breathe: Hold your knee close to your chest for 20–30 seconds while breathing deeply.
- Switch Sides: Exhale and return your right leg to the floor, then repeat with the left knee.
- Double Leg Variation: For added intensity, you can bring both knees towards your chest at the same time.
Dos:
- Keep your back flat on the floor while performing the pose.
- Focus on your breath, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly to maximize relaxation.
- Engage your abdominal muscles to deepen the stretch and enhance digestion.
Don'ts:
- Don’t force your knees towards your chest if you feel discomfort in your lower back.
- Avoid pressing your head or neck into the ground; keep your head relaxed on the mat.
- If you have knee or back issues, modify the pose to avoid strain.
