Here are some postures that will allow you to perform a deep detox not only of the body but also of the mind and the emotional field, in order to lighten ourselves of everything that encumbers us...

To your yoga mats !

1. Malasana

Taking the posture:

With your knees apart and bent, feet flat on the floor, relax your lower back and lengthen your spine. Then place your palms together, with your elbows in the bend of your knees. Breathe deeply.

Benefits of posture:

According to the translation of Malasana (mala = excrement), this posture was designed to aid digestion and help people have easier bowel movements. By opening the lower body and creating a slight compression of the internal organs, this position is also recommended for large commissions.

2. Yoga twists

Taking the posture:

Lying on the floor, bring your bent knees close to your chest, then release them to the floor on your right side. Hold the position for a few minutes before repeating it on the other side.

Benefits of posture:

All twisting postures are recommended to detoxify the body and also to release tensions and obsolete emotions. The lying twist is one of the gentlest twists.

These postures allow you to perform an internal massage of the digestive organs, which sometimes run in slow motion. You will be able to feel the immediate benefits of these postures.

3. Apanasana

Taking the posture:

Lying on your back, bend one knee towards your chest and grab it with both hands, and make light pressure movements with your thigh against your abdomen. Change legs, then repeat the movement with both legs at the same time.

Benefits of posture:

Apasana, or the wind pose, helps eliminate gas by applying light pressure to the stomach. Feel free to use this pose if you feel bloated or have difficulty digesting. However, avoid this pose right after eating.

4. Balasana

Taking the posture:

Sitting on your heels, knees touching, you tilt your upper body forward until your forehead touches the ground. Inhale while inflating your belly, and exhale while relaxing your whole body.

Benefits of posture:

When you breathe, your stomach presses on your thighs, which has the effect of compressing it slightly and massaging the internal organs deeply.

In addition, the child's pose brings great calm to the entire body. Symbolically, this position is like a refuge, imagine that you are going into your shell and relaxing.

You can integrate these yoga postures into your daily practice or practice them independently, if you feel the need. They are ideal during periods of stress or when you travel, both to refocus yourself and to regulate minor internal disorders.
