So let´s get to the 5 best yoga poses for constipation.
1. Apanasana
How to do it: Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Draw your right knee into your chest, so that it is putting pressure on your ascending colon. Hold and breathe here for 10-30 breaths. Release and switch sides so that you are drawing your left knee into your chest and your left knee is putting pressure on your descending colon. Hold and breathe for 10-30 breaths.
Why it Works: The pressure being put on your ascending and descending colon by your bent leg helps to move the stool along through your large intestines relieving constipation.
2. Reclined Side Bend
How to do it: Stay lying on your back, take both of your legs over to the left side of your yoga mat, you can even cross your right ankle over your left ankle. Take your arms overhead and side bend towards the left side so your body is in an arch towards the left. Hold for 10-30 breaths. Repeat to the other side.
Why it works: This pose lengthens first your ascending colon and then your descending colon, relaxing your large intestine so that any cramping and tightening in your intestinal tract can relax, you can release stool with ease and any straining can let go.
3. Lunge Pose Lunge Pose with a Twist
How to do it: Come up to a quadruped position. Walk your right foot between your hands. Press into your left foot, lift your torso and raise your arms. Feel an opening along your psoas and all along your ascending colon. Hold for 10-30 breaths. Repeat on the left side so you can affect your descending colon as well.
Why it works: This pose lengthens first your ascending colon and then your descending colon, relaxing your large intestine so that any cramping and tightening in your intestinal tract can relax, you can release stool with ease and any straining can let go.
4. Marichyasana
How to do it: Come to a comfortable seated position with your legs out in front of you. Bend your right leg. Wrap your left arm around your right leg and turn towards it so you are putting pressure on your ascending colon. Hold for 10-30 breaths. Repeat to the other side so that you are affecting your descending colon.
Why it works: The pressure being put on your ascending and descending colon by your bent leg helps to move the stool along through your large intestines relieving constipation.
5. Squat or Malasana
How to do it: Stand with your feet hip width apart. Bend your knees and lower down into a squat. Lower your pelvis down right between your ankles. If your heels lift up off the ground place a rolled up yoga mat or blanket under your heels.
Why it works: This pose puts pressure on the ascending and descending colon and helps to move stool along through your large intestines relieving constipation. It also helps you to relax and open up your low back, relieving any cramping and tension from constipation.

Great stuff Melissa! Very educational! Thanks so much! I've been suffering from chronic constipation and incorporating yoga into my daily routine to heal my digestive issues but have no idea what part the digestive system it is addressing. I have a sluggish colon and passing hard stool and your yoga moves addresses the colon which is my issues. Thanks so much!
I’ll use all of them because I have been having this problem for years
I can feel these directly affected the sluggish parts, thanks much. Namaste to you for the guidance.
You're so welcome!
I will practice

When you say "right leg," you're always moving the left. Which is correct? Are you modeling so people can mirror you? It's confusing.
I mirror :)

Thank you took me 10 minutes to finally poop
Don’t know if these poses worked yet as nothing is moving 😔
It's been a year, I hope you went!
@@Pulse2AM 😂😂
Sister what do you mean by 10-30 breaths. Can I use 1..2..3.counts.
you can
Thank you.
Having and ad over your ad covering up the part I need to read seems counter productive.
sorry I don't know what you mean.
Way too fast when you show the poses. By the time I got halfway into position the camera is back to your face.
thankfully I'm slower when teaching the actual classes on the other youtube channel, this was just an example video :)
@@YogaLifestylewithMelissa aren’t some of these directions backwards? Like ex2 you’re left turns into your right for ex #3?
@@YogaLifestylewithMelissa
Ex1 right knee then left knee ☑️
Ex2 left bend then right bend ☑️
Ex 3 “right then left” ❌ (shows L first)
Ex4 “ “
I’m guessing go in th he order you say though right??
@@YogaLifestylewithMelissa can you answer that question below? i do really struggle with this so I try and do these excercises relatively frequently but im concerned if i do it wrong or in wrong order it could be counterproductive
@@johns7176 hey I'm not a yaoga instructor, nor a doctor, but I don't think that the order matters 💜
