A Gentle Sequence to Support Healthy Digestion
Digestive issues can be complex and may arise for many different reasons. This sequence, practiced during the holidays, is designed to soften the abdominal area, create space, and encourage deeper circulation to support release and ease.
The quiet, restorative quality of the sequence helps relax the mind and calm the nervous system—an important benefit during the often busy and stimulating holiday period. As the nervous system settles, digestion is naturally supported, allowing the body to return toward balance.
This sequence includes:
Supta Swastikasana — Reclining Cross-Legged Pose
Supta Baddha Konasana — Reclining Bound Angle Pose
Virasana (Forward) — Hero Pose (Forward Extension)
Adho Mukha Svanasana — Downward-Facing Dog Pose
Bharadvajasana (on Chair) — Seated Twist on a Chair
Marichyasana I — Sage Marichi’s Pose I
Supta Ardha Matsyendrasana — Reclining Half Lord of the Fishes Pose
Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Supported) — Supported Bridge Pose
Janu Sirsasana — Head-to-Knee Forward Bend
Paschimottanasana — Seated Forward Bend
Viparita Karani — Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose
Savasana — Corpse Pose
