Vayu Muktasana - #5242

Anonymously

Lately, I’ve been feeling really bloated after meals, and someone suggested I try vayu muktasana for relief. I know it’s supposed to help with gas and improve digestion, but I’m not very flexible. I’m wondering if I need to have a specific level of fitness to practice vayu muktasana correctly? How exactly should I be doing vayu muktasana? Is it best to do it right after meals or on an empty stomach? Also, does vayu muktasana really work for chronic gas issues, or is it more of a temporary fix? If anyone has been doing vayu muktasana, I’d love to hear your experience. Did it help with digestion? Any tips for beginners trying vayu muktasana would be great too.

Vayu Muktasana is a gentle yoga pose that can help relieve bloating and gas by stimulating digestion and releasing trapped air in the intestines. You don't need to be highly flexible to practice it; the focus is more on gentle movement and breathing. It's best to practice Vayu Muktasana on an empty stomach, ideally in the morning or at least 2-3 hours after a meal. The posture involves lying on your back, bringing your knees to your chest, and gently rocking from side to side, which helps in releasing gas and soothing the digestive system. While it can offer immediate relief, incorporating it into your daily routine can provide longer-term benefits for digestion and reduce chronic gas. It's important to practice slowly and listen to your body, especially if you're new to yoga. You can also combine it with a balanced diet and Ayurvedic herbs for more effective results.
