DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Yoga instructor Amy Zone says that for simple afflictions, doing yoga in your own home may be a valuable healing tool.

AMY ZONE, YOGA INSTRUCTOR: You can relieve yourself of a lot of the usual problems, from headaches and digestive disorders to anxiety and stress.

GUPTA: Zone says twisting poses like this one stimulate the digestive system and are good for problems like gas and indigestion. And for those days when your energy is sagging, poses called inversions may help[ you reenergize.

Formal yoga instruction may help to refine poses, but Zone says a simple twist or stretch in the comfort of your home can provide a great alternative to cure your ills.

For Feeling Fit, I'm Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
