There’s a reason yoga people are always calm: they’ve mastered the art of releasing trapped wind with grace. Try the “knees-to-chest” pose—just lie on your back and pull your knees into a tight ball. Hold it for 30 seconds and breathe like a peaceful dragon.

Another winner: child’s pose. Kneel down, sit back on your heels, and stretch your arms forward on the floor. Your torso will compress just enough to bully that gas bubble into submission. If you hear a tiny rumble? That’s the sound of victory.

Let’s be real—sometimes you just need to burp it out. Drink a carbonated beverage like soda or sparkling water (ironically, yes). The fizz can trigger a chain reaction that forces the trapped air upward. It’s the old “fight fire with fire” approach, but for gas.
Or try the “water trick”: chug a glass of warm water while standing up, then gently lean forward. You’ll probably let out a burp that would embarrass a troll. But you’ll feel amazing, so who cares?
