Forward Folds

• The seated forward fold is good for your bladder because as you lean forward pressure is placed on your abdomen, including your bladder. This will massage the internal organs and help them to relax. Sit up straight on a mat with your legs straight in front of you. Keep your spine straight as you lean forward and slide your palms along your shins toward your toes. Relax and allow your stomach to press against your thighs. Take deep breaths into your belly to press further against your legs and stimulate your bladder.
  
  

Bridge

• The bridge pose increases abdominal strength and stretches the abdominal muscles as well as the muscles of the spine. Lie face up on a mat and bring your heels toward your buttocks. Your knees are bent and your arms are at your sides. Your knees should be above your ankles. Squeeze your glutes and abs. Push through your heel and lift your hips in the air. Hold the pose for three to five breaths.
  
  

Shoulder Stands

• Shoulder stands are one of the basic inversion poses. Inversion poses take stress off your bladder and internal organs. Shoulder stands are easier to do if you use a wall when you are learning. Position yourself on the floor about a foot from the wall. Walk your feet up the wall until you can place your hands along your hips to support your lower back. Reach for the ceiling with your feet until you are balancing on your shoulders. Stay in the pose for five breaths. This will also stretch your neck and work your core.
  
  

Sphinx

• The sphinx pose stretches your spine, abdomen, and stimulates the internal organs. The bladder is stimulated as the stomach presses into the floor, similar to the forward fold as the stomach presses into your legs. Do this gentle pose by lying on your stomach with your legs straight behind you. Squeeze your abs and glutes and press up onto your forearms with your palms down. Your arms will be pointing straight in front of you on the floor like a sphinx. Look straight ahead with a level chin. Pull your shoulders down and back. Relax into the floor and feel your forearms and stomach press into the floor.
