Have you ever noticed when you are exercising that you start to burp or pass gas? It can be embarrassing but imagine how much more gas your body would hold onto or how much more bloated your stomach would look without moving at all? Most forms of exercise will detoxify your body but yoga is the best way to relieve painful gas and bloating, here’s why.

Your body naturally eliminates wastes on its own but sometimes stress, poor food choices and the demands of life can slow your system down. Assisting your body on its quest to cleanse and detoxify through exercise speeds up the digestion process. More specifically, yoga is the best way to stimulate and detox your body because almost every practice incorporates twisting, turning and bending. All parts of your body are stretched and compressed; which naturally pushes out built up gas. You can also partner yoga with these 3 foods to detox and cleanse your body even faster.

Another aspect of yoga that plays a part in promoting the relief of gas and bloating is breathing. Most people don’t breathe properly within daily life. What that means is taking in full breaths of oxygen and inflating the lungs while allowing the body to expel hazardous carbon dioxide through exhalation. Yogic breathing stimulates the digestive organs and promotes faster release of gas. Good digestive health includes remembering to breathe in and outside yoga practice. Here are 3 of the best yoga poses known to help detoxify the body.
