It’s unlikely that yoga will cure protatitis, however, you may receive some relief from yoga asanas that focus on the pelvic floor muscles and eliminate stress from that area. The pelvic floor muscles are located in your lower abdomen and include a variety of organs and muscles, including the prostate. Anytime you focus on the pelvic floor muscles you will receive the added benefit of increased bowel movements and better balance in your physical life.
Try asanas that focus on this section. A great pose for the pelvic floor muscles is the half bridge pose. Make sure to keep your neck relaxed and to keep your knees in alignment. Forward bends are also good for relaxing the pelvic floor muscles. Either standing or seated forward bends will work, holding each for up to a minute if you can. Upward facing dog and spinal twists may also help you find some relief. When finishing your yoga practice, spend some time doing pranayama. While lying on your back, keep your hands placed on your abdomen. Pranayama will stimulate the Svadhisthana Chakra, which is located between the belly button and the pelvic bone. Like all yoga practice, relief is likely to only be found with daily practice.
