Are you one of those people who seem to bloat after just looking at food? Welcome to the club! Bloating can sometimes feel like an uninvited guest who just doesn’t take the hint. But what if you could calm your rebellious belly with a few simple yoga poses? Cissy Nansera, a Norwegian yoga teacher, has taken TikTok by storm with her tips to flatten the tummy, leaving even the experts wide-eyed in surprise.
Bloating: The Usual Suspects
Many things can trigger bloating. Maybe you rushed through your lunch, nibbled on fried treats, swallowed a bit too much gum, or enjoyed a fizzy drink (don’t worry, we’ve all been there). For some of us, hormonal changes also play a role. The menstrual cycle, a drop in estrogen during menopause, or a hike in progesterone can all lead to extra gas and discomfort. Even stress finds its way into the mix. In short, bloating has a lot of causes – but relief might be closer than you think.
The TikTok Yoga Routine That’s Changing Lives
On her favorite Gen Z platform, Cissy Nansera reveals her tried-and-true yoga moves for a bloated belly. The highlight? Five easy-to-do postures you can perform anywhere – yes, even if you’re a total beginner. Her sequence aims to relax the tension held in both the stomach and intestines. Included in these is a position inspired by the ever-popular stomach vacuum method, a real hit with online audiences.
Cissy says, “I try to give several options because I know not every pose will suit everyone.” How do you find THE pose that works for you? Simple: give them a try. And remember, you don’t have to be a contortionist or a yoga pro – these are beginner-friendly.

The Eagle Pose and Stomach Vacuum: A Dynamic Duo
In another video, Cissy recommends pairing two powerhouse positions for maximum relief: the eagle pose, held as long as possible to relax the lower abdomen, followed by the stomach vacuum. The feedback is nothing short of enthusiastic. Scrolling through the comments, you find confessions like “this helped me so much,” “this move changed my life,” and “it really worked!” Seems like her audience is more than satisfied.

Beyond Yoga: Tackling Bloating from Every Angle
Of course, yoga isn’t the only trick out there for those pesky tummy troubles. The causes of bloating are as varied as the ways to chase it away. When period time rolls around, bloating tends to get worse thanks to rising progesterone. During menopause, a drop in estrogen can also play havoc. If you’re looking for more ways to beat the bloat, there are other remedies to consider:
- Vegetable charcoal
- Herbal solutions
- Physical activity
- Targeted abdominal massage
But, as Cissy Nansera reminds us, yoga is accessible, gentle, and can be done almost anywhere – even just before your next snack attack.
