Meg,
I don't know all the proper names for the poses but I have been going to Yoga for about 10 months and I find any poses that involve a spinal twist really help constipation.

For example in a seated spinal twist you sit with your legs crossed and back straight. Put your right hand on your left knee and your left hand around on the floor behind you. Then inhale and as you exhale turn your head to look over your left shoulder. I usually hold the pose for about 6-8 breaths but I have worked up to that. On every exhalation I try to move a little bit deeper into the pose. Then I repeat the same but on the other side.

Hope this helps...
Kerrie
