How Yoga can help to flatten belly?

Yoga does help with increasing your metabolism, but to see faster results, I recommend eliminating so called bad carbs (white bread, sugar, etc.), from your diet. There are three effective yoga poses whic are use full to keep your belly shape in control. These are yoga poses, which require minimal effort.

• Salabhasana
• Dhanurasana
• Bhujangasana

Salabhasana

Salabhasana is also called the Locust Pose: The technique involves lying on your belly with your chin touching the floor and the soles of your feet pointing up. At the same time, you should keep your arms straight along the body, palms facing upwards and fingers clenched. Inhale slowly and raise your legs, the hips and the lower abdomen in one straight line; the whole weight of the body should rest on your chest and hands. Keep the pose for ten seconds when your try this for the first time and extend the time as long as you can retain your breath. Then, lower your legs slowly, relax all your muscle and exhale. Repeat the process as many times as your can.

Dhanurasana

The second yogic abs solution is called Dhanurasana or the Bow Pose. This technique involves lying on your stomach with your face down. Relax your muscles. Bend your legs at the knees and hold them over the thighs. Hold the ankles firmly with your hands. This could a bit tricky when you try this initially. Raise your head, chest and knees by pulling the legs slowly with your hands so that your body rests on the abdomen and the spin is arched back like a bow. Remain in the pose for as long as you are able to and repeat a few times.

Bhujangasana

The next Yoga technique for reducing a flabby stomach is called Bhujangasana or the Cobra Pose. Again, lie on your stomach as you did in the previous poses, with your face down and keep your feet together and your soles pointed up. Keep your palms on the floor below the shoulders. Inhale, and raise your head, neck, chest and upper abdomen from the navel up. Let your lower body rest on the ground. Strike the pose and hold your breath for a few seconds. Then, exhale and return to the position in which you began until your head touches the ground. Repeat this asana or movement as many times as you are comfortable.
