We all know that yoga is good for the body: it helps to keep you fit, toned, and flexible. But it's not only good for your muscles.

Did you know that doing yoga can also aid your digestion?

Certain yoga positions, such as the seated spinal twist, can help your digestion. The way your body turns can massage your internal organs, helping your digestion along. So not only can yoga help you to stay fit and strong, but it can also keep everything moving along as it should.

There are a few different positions that you can try, but do remember that you have to keep up a regular practices if you want to see... well, regular results.
You can start off easy, with marjariasana (also known as the "cat-cow" stretch). Not only is this pose good for your digestion, but it's also good for stretching out your lower back as well. It's a great way to ease yourself into a digestion-focused workout.
