A Yoga Sequence to Ease Discomfort When You're Overstuffed

A calming pose to begin with, forward bends like this one massage your internal organs and increase circulation.

• Begin in Mountain Pose at the front of your mat. Inhale and reach your arms straight above you.
• As you exhale, engage your abs, and fold forward with a straight back. Tuck your chin in toward your chest, relax your shoulders, and extend the crown of the head toward the floor to create a long spine. Shift weight forward into your toes, straightening the legs as much as possible. Place your hands on the ground, fingertips lining up with the toes.
• Hold here for five breaths.
