With Thanksgiving coming up, I'm sure many of you are looking forward to chowing down on some delicious foods. Most of us end up eating way more than usual, and since many of the dishes may be richer or sweeter than you're used to, it can cause some major discomfort in the tummy department. Here are some gentle stretches you can do to ease digestion.

One-Legged Spinal Twist

This twist can help get things moving in your belly. It's also a great pose to do after sitting for a long period of time. * Bend your right knee and cross your left elbow over to the outside edge of the knee and look over your right shoulder. * As you breathe, continue to deepen the twist. Stay here for about thirty seconds, then do the other side.
