Hello Yog Guru, I am (self) practising BASIC yoga since 2021. Every time I do the asanas I develop acute acidity and the same troubles me for 1-2 months. Remedial measures :- I follow medications, stop yoga and the issue is resolved. Should I give up yoga or is there any specific asanas that will not create acidity issues? Pls advise Thanks Tushar

Ans: It’s great that you have been practicing yoga since 2021. However, if yoga is triggering acidity, it means that some postures or your practice routine may not be suitable for your body.

Why is Yoga Causing Acidity?
Practicing on an empty or full stomach – Yoga is best done 2-3 hours after a meal.
Wrong postures – Some asanas (like deep backbends) can put pressure on the stomach, increasing acidity.
Holding breath – Improper breathing can disturb digestion.
Intense practice – Overstretching may trigger stress, which worsens acidity.
What to Do?
? Gentle Asanas: Vajrasana (after meals), Supta Baddha Konasana, and Marjaryasana-Bitilasana (Cat-Cow) help digestion.
? Avoid: Deep backbends and intense forward bends immediately after meals.
? Focus on Breathwork: Practice Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) and Sheetali Pranayama to cool the body and reduce acidity.
? Stay Hydrated: Drink warm water to support digestion.

Guidance Matters!
Practicing alone may cause incorrect posture or breathing habits. A yoga coach can guide you on asanas that suit your body and help avoid discomfort. Don’t give up yoga—just modify your practice with expert guidance!

Mam can yoga asanas help reduce acidity? What exercises should I follow?

Ans: While Yoga will not directly treat acid reflux, it will help lower stress, which contributes to having an acid reflux. Practicing asanas will over a period of time help you greatly because Yoga postures will help correct your alignment. Asanas like the Downward Facing Dog or Ashok mukhya svanasana and Standing Forward Fold or pada hastasana can help relieve the pressure on your stomach and esophagus and prevent the onset of acid reflux.

Can yoga help fight acidity? Can you pls recommend some exercises that I can do? I am 34 years old

Ans: Namaste!
First off, please start to take control over what you are eating. Avoid eating spicy, preservative laden or heavy carbohydrate dense foods. Eating beyond 7.00 PM is not advisable. Asanas will definitely help, Vajrasana, Bhujangasana, Pawan Muktasana, Ardha Matsyendrasana etc are extremely helpful. Best is to to learn them under a qualified yoga instructor and then practice regularly on your own. Hope this helps.

I have got 93%ile in jee mains and I belong to ews category. Will I be able to get ant NIT or IIIT?

Ans: Hello dear.
The chances are low to get admission to NITs but strong for IIITs. Keep a close eye on the counseling process of NITs. The cut-offs vary every year. Yet the result of 2nd session of JEE is in pipe line. Hence wait till the 2nd session of JEE for more clarity related to seat. Thanks
