Digestive discomfort after eating is very common, especially as we age and our metabolism slows. While a brisk 20-minute walk helps, practicing gentle yoga 30 minutes after your meal can also enhance digestion and ease bloating naturally.

Unlike walking, yoga should not be performed immediately after eating. Your body needs time to start digesting food. Wait at least 30 minutes before doing these gentle yoga poses that help stimulate the digestive system and improve nutrient absorption.

Vajrasana is one of the few yoga poses you can safely perform soon after eating. Sit on your heels with your spine straight, palms on thighs. This pose enhances blood flow to the stomach and helps relieve acidity, gas, and indigestion naturally.

Begin on all fours with wrists under shoulders and knees under hips. Inhale as you arch your back (Cow), exhale as you round it (Cat). The gentle spinal movement massages abdominal organs, improving digestion and reducing bloating after meals.

Lie on your back, bring the soles of your feet together, and let your knees drop outward. This relaxed pose soothes the abdominal region, promotes circulation in the digestive tract, and reduces feelings of heaviness after eating.

Sit with one leg extended and the other crossed over it. Twist your torso gently toward the bent knee. This twisting motion compresses and releases the abdomen, helping detoxify the digestive organs and encourage smoother bowel movement.

Lie on your stomach, place your palms under your shoulders, and gently lift your chest off the floor while keeping your elbows close to your body. This posture stretches the abdominal area, stimulates digestive enzymes, and helps relieve constipation.

Each of these five poses improves circulation around the stomach and intestines, reduces gas buildup, and encourages natural peristalsis — the rhythmic contractions that move food through your digestive system efficiently.

Practice these yoga poses regularly after lunch or dinner, keeping your movements slow and controlled. Combine them with mindful breathing to calm your nervous system — a key factor in smooth digestion and reduced bloating.

If you’re new to yoga or have any health conditions, consult a certified yoga instructor before trying these poses. Proper guidance ensures correct posture, prevents discomfort, and helps you get the best digestive benefits safely.
