3 Yoga Poses to Detoxify Your Body

By Kumar Shah

Your body has natural detoxification mechanisms that aid in getting rid of waste products and toxins; however, due to ill health you may find that your body is unable to get rid of the waste products. Luckily, if you are a yoga lover, you can use yoga to detoxify your body. Below are 3 yoga poses that you can use to detoxify your body.

Twisting player lunge

This pose aids in increasing the rate of digestion. The pose also facilitates elimination of toxins and other waste products from the body. The pose further promotes circulation of blood and lymph.

To get into position, you need to put your right leg forward, and then bring your palms together such that they are at the center of your heart. With your left knee lifted, push the left heel backwards. To lengthen your spine, reach the crown of your head forward. At this position, place your left triceps on your right thigh and try to get your torso as close to your leg as possible. To twist your body, send your chest towards the sky by looking upwards. By doing this, you will have twisted your inner organs. You should hold at this position for at least one minute. When you release the twist, the cells will be bathed with fresh nutrients, and oxygen which will aid in detoxification.

Legs up the wall pose

This is a simple pose that almost anyone can do. All you need to do is to 'stand' on your head and raise your legs up the sky. You can use a wall as your support. If you can support yourself without the need of a wall, well and good. When you raise your legs to the sky, you become inverted which aids in draining accumulated lymph fluid from the legs and the drained fluid flows to the rest of the body which greatly benefits the immune system. In addition to this, inverting yourself aids in bathing the abdomen in fresh blood and oxygen which stimulates digestion. This pose also greatly aids in reducing stress that might have accumulated the entire day.

Locust pose

Just like the above two, this pose also aids in stimulating the digestive system. To get into position, you need to lie on your belly while your arms are along the sides of your torso. While at this position, raise your upper torso, head, arms and legs from the floor. To know that you are in the right position, your arms should be parallel to the floor.

These are some of the yoga poses that you can use to detoxify your body. Although, the poses are effective in detoxifying your body, you should also eat healthy foods and exercise regularly.
