In this short video I am going to show you the two best yin yoga poses for constipation relief. If you experience bloating and bramps due to constipation, this short yin yoga sequence will help to relax your colon and then put pressure on your colon to move the feces along. This is the best yin yoga for digestion and constipation. If you have gastric constipation or constipation dur to IBS, then these yin yoga positions for constipation will help to relax your stomach, intestines and relieve your chronic constipation. If you are looking for better digestion, the components of relaxation and compression that I offer here with these two yin yoga poses will improve your digestion.
Dr. Melissa West, from Victoria B.C. Canada has been releasing an hour long video every Friday on her main KZbin channel since 2009. On this channel she releases a vlog on Monday and she answers your questions on Wednesdays. She specializes in helping you let go of all the tension, anxiety and stress in your life through yin yoga, restorative yoga, hatha yoga and yoga nidra/sleep yoga. If you are looking for a reprieve from the burdens of everyday life, Melissa’s videos offer the best in relaxation, peace and calm.

Thank you so much!!! It worked. I was only constipated since yesterday. But my migraine came to the party, so I was worried I was gonna have one of those days today. But I didn't. So cheers!

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

good to hear :) ...I completely understand...I get nervous too when I think a migraine is about to start :(

[@sonamn851]

I couldn’t believe :: I just tried as I have heavily constipated :: it worked not fully but atleast gave me some relief .. thanks a lot

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

Wonderful!

[@MegaBella2013]

Omg god bless you! I had a crazy headache due to my constipation this morning and I can’t believe it’s all relieved.very effective technique i will recommend it to everyone and if you still are constipated after this then must see a specialist.

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

so pleased it helped :)

[@margarethunter9650]

Thank you! A nice reminder to relax and let things flow over you.... It worked! I will try more of your you tube gifts!

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

[@roxannaschulien5020]

My colon is relaxed now.I watched your demo for relaxing ascending&descending colon.

ive been contipated for 10 years i think its finally time to do some stuff to fix it. thank you!

[@joannelegros-kelly7688]

These poses are relaxing for colon and low back. Thx.😊🙏

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

Glad you like them!

[@lineavictoria2631]

I forgot i was lactose intolerant (yes, i genuinely forgot) and ate 2 liters of yoghurt over 3 days. I woke up at 3 am last night from INTENSE stabbing pains in my colon/rectum.... i really thought my colon was about to explode from my stool being stuck. I cried out in pain for 5 hours and then finally had a bowel movement which relieved a majority of the pain. I swear to god i’ve never felt this kind of pain, and i have a high pain tolerance. Lesson learned: i am lactose intolerant and should not eat yoghurt like that EVER AGAIN 😅 today im still a little uncomfortable with gas and a some constipation still, so i’ll try these yoga poses. I also just had a whole bunch of water, prune juice and a dose of laxatives - so now its just a waiting game i guess 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@allinonetruthinformation4399]

Thanks for information.

[@nataliapaz458]

did the prune juice and laxatives help?

[@lineavictoria2631]

Natalia Paz yes, it does help. The prunes are better as a long term solution if you struggle with constipation regularly, though. If you eat 5 prunes a day i promise you’ll feel better in a few days. Try psyllium/husk fibers. They’re nasty to swallow, but try incorporating them in oatmeal. That way you wont have to gag 😂

[@Stormyrevenge]

Yes! Thank you, this worked 5 min after I finished the stretch. Bam!

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

so good :)

[@sergeydzema5569]

This is just superb, I've been looking for "natural remedies for constipation" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Qaneah Neynna Takeover - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.

[@dr.camaled.7085]

Thanks! It worked for me within two hours.

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

Great! Pleased it helped you :)

[@ileeeaaannn3347]

I changed my eating habits to more healthy and I’ve been constipated for the past few months, I hope this helps! It’s so scary cause I’ve also been dealing with anxiety and every time I can’t go I feel like my stomach is just going to burst from the the pain on my side

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

you should probably see a medical doctor ...just to be safe :)

Glad it helped!!

[@ScottLawlor]

Hi melissa. I'm totally blind so could you describe that last pose you did in this video. I'm presuming you were on your tummy since your voice was more muffled than during the other two poses but was there something special about the precise positioning you're supposed to be in? thank you for the help, I appreciate it.

[@caitlinmclaughlin3442]

Hi Scott. I’m not Melissa but wanted to help. In the last pose, she was on her knees and bum on her ankles, then leaned over and put forearms on the ground. So I’m leaning over this way, it puts the pressure of your stomach on your colon area. I hope this helps!

[@vannaksok5620]

I've been constipated since my surgery about 3 months ago and it feels really uncomfortable. I just found this video and I've done it, 1 minute for each pose, is it okay? I haven't got any bowel movements since yesterday so i really hope it will works well for me. Btw thank u for making this wonderful video, wish me luck for my digestive issue!

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

I would see your doctor and make sure the movement will help and not hurt your recovery.

New subscriber looking for poses and diet changes that may help hemorrhoids & constipation.

Hi, i tried it but everytime i do it after i feel thirsty , why is it?

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

you might be dehydrated...it's a common cause of constipation....wise to see your medical doctor to confirm :)

[@ravil8506]

Can I do this ? I'm in 2 months of pregnancy...kindly help me please...

[@priyanshuverma1354]

Does doing exercise without going toilet in morning good or harmful for health as i don't go poty in the morning and do exercise every morning and go toilet in afternoon is it ok

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

everyone is different...make sure you're keeping hydrated :)

[@amitagarwalfitness]

It is wrong... Biologically, you should drink 2-3 glass of water in morning and then go potty ... This is best practise...

[@labourerplop5034]

Can this be done right after eating

yes, but be gentle :)

Nice 👍👌👌

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@paulsinclair3753]

Are these poses suppose to be painful, or am I just getting old?

[@YogaLifestylewithMelissa]

you might want to see a doctor...pain shouldn't be experienced with these poses :)

[@N24-l5i]

Yoga is nice and relaxing but too gentle for chronic or severe constipation when people are living in misery. Go see a bowel function specialist. These doctors and nurses have clinics and will help you achieve better bowel function. It could take months of retraining your bowel but any improvement is beneficial long-term. You do NOT want bowel problems in old age!
