Which yoga poses help with digestion?

Yoga poses that target the abdomen tend to be the most helpful with digestion-related difficulty or pain; these poses include bridge pose and an alternation between cat and cow pose. Cat and cow poses take place with the yogi on his or her hands and knees, alternating between arching and stretching the back.

The movement caused by this alternation can help stretch and move the internal organs in the abdomen, which may relieve some digestion-related discomfort. Other poses, such as the supine spinal twist and the seated spinal twist, require the yogi to twist his or her abdomen, which may also provide some relief.
