2. Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation)
Surya Namaskar is a confluence of twelve yoga positions, each of which has a major impact on
the entire body. The forward and backward bends allow stretches, while the deep breathing
performed during the act helps in detoxification. Practice Surya Namaskar daily in the morning,
facing the sun, for reaping the maximum benefits.
How To Do
Stand with both your feet together, expand your chest, and relax your shoulders.
As you inhale, lift both your arms from the sides. And as you exhale, bring your arms to
the front of your chest and keep them in the prayer position.
Inhale, raise your hands, and stretch backwards.
Exhale, bend forward, and try to touch your knees with your forehead.
Bending your left knee, stretch your right leg backward, with your palms placed on the
floor.
Hold your breath and stretch your left leg as well. This is called the plank posture.
Come down to the floor holding your spine out. Here, your knees, chest, and chin must be
in contact with the floor.
Inhale, stretch forward, and bend backwards.
Keeping your hands fixed on the floor, exhale and lean forward.
As you inhale, bring your right leg forward, in between your elbows and stretch upwards.
Bring your left leg forward and inhale deeply.
Stretch back from the waist.
Return to the initial position.

3. Padahastasana (Standing Forward Bend)
The abdomen gets completely compressed while bending forward, which leads to burning of
fat. Thus, the compression helps in toning down the tummy.
How To Do
Stand in the Tadasana pose, with your hands on either side of the body while your feet
rest together, with the heels touching each other.
Keep your spine erect.
Inhaling deeply, lift your hand upwards.
As you exhale, bend forward such that your body is parallel to the floor.
Inhale, then exhale, and bend forward completely, with your body falling away from the
hips.
Try to touch the floor, with palms straight on the floor, and without bending your knees.
Beginners can try touching the toes or just the ankles to start with, working your way to the
floor.
Holding your breath, tuck your tummy in, and hold the position for 60 to 90 seconds.
Exhale, leave your toes, and lift your body to come back to the Tadasana pose.
Repeat the asana 10 times, leaving an interval of 10 seconds between two repetitions.
Here Is The Video Padahastasana / Standing Forward Bend
Variations
Padahastasana has variations in terms of holding your toes, placing your hands beneath the
balls of your feet, or simply holding your ankles or shins.
Benefits
Improves digestion, as your abdominal muscles are toned

Strengthens the wrist joints
Relieves mental and physical exhaustion
Caution
Before performing Padahastasana, you need to master Uttanasana, which is a less challenging
forward-bending pose. Also, people with spinal disc disorders must refrain from performing this
pose.
Back To TOC
[ Read: Padahastasana And Its Benefits ]
4. Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend)
This is one of the basic poses of Hatha Yoga, and it stimulates the center of your solar plexus.
Along with acting as a tummy toning pose, the forward bend also offers an admirable level of
stretch to the hamstrings, thighs, as well as hips. It is also ideal for those who are prone to
digestive disorders.
How To Do
Sit on the floor in Sukahasana or Padmasana.

Keep your spine erect, and stretch your legs out to your front. Your feet should point to the
ceiling.
Inhaling deeply, stretch your hands above your head without bending your elbows. Your
gaze should follow your hands. Stretch your spine to the maximum.
Exhale, and bend forward from your thighs. Bring your hands down and try to touch your
toes. Your head should rest on your knees. Beginners can try touching their ankles or just
thighs as a starter.
Once you touch your toes, hold them and try pulling them backward till you experience the
stretch on your hamstrings.
Breathing in, hold your tummy, and try to retain the position for 60 to 90 seconds initially.
Slowly, increase the time of holding the position for five minutes, or if possible, more.
Exhaling, bring your body upward, relieving your toes from your fingers to come back to
the Sukhasana or Padmasana pose.
Repeat the asana 10 times to begin with, working up to 25 times or more.
Here Is The Video Paschimottanasana / Seated Forward Bend
Variations
Those who are new to the pose can try Ardha Paschimottanasana. The process is the same as
outlined above. The only variation is that you have to stretch out only one leg at a time.
Benefits
Relieves stress
Helps in the reduction of fat in the abdomen
Balances menstrual cycles
Caution
People who have spinal disc disorders, or had abdominal surgery recently must not perform this
pose. Even individuals suffering from asthma and diarrhea must stay away from this pose.
Back To TOC
[ Read: Paschimottanasana And Its Benefits ]
5. Pavanamuktasana (Wind Relieving Pose)
This asana helps in alleviating various gastric problems, including indigestion and constipation.
Since your knees exert pressure on your tummy, holding the position for more than a minute
helps in triggering the burning of fat in the region.
How To Do
Lie down in the supine position (face upwards) with your arms beside your body and feet
stretched out, heels touching each other.
Bend your knees.
Take in a deep breath, and as you exhale, gradually bring the bent knees towards your
chest, with the thighs applying pressure on the abdomen. Hold the knees properly in place
by clasping your hands underneath the thighs.
Inhale again, and as you exhale, lift your head, allowing your chin to touch your knees.
Hold the position for 60 to 90 seconds, while breathing deeply.
Exhale slowly, and release your knees while allowing your head to rest on the floor. Bring
your hands onto either side of your body, palms facing the ground.
Relax in Shavasana.
Repeat the asana 7 to 10 times, leaving a 15-second interval between repetitions.
Here Is The Video Pavanamuktasana / Wind Relieving Pose
Variations
Those who are new to yoga can practice the pose with a single leg.
Benefits
Strengthens the back and abdominal muscles

Helps in digestion and release of gas
Tones the muscles in the legs and arms
Caution
Pregnant women, people suffering from spinal problems, and people with blood pressure and
heart issues must refrain from performing this pose.

[ Read: Pavanamuktasana And Its Benefits ]
6. Naukasana (Boat Pose)
This is one of the most sought after yoga postures that will guarantee you a flatter belly with
regular practice. While holding the posture for more than a minute helps in contracting the
abdominal muscles, the posture, when done in a boat-like movement, helps in toning your abs.
How To Do
Lie down on the yoga mat in the supine position, legs stretched out, toes facing the ceiling,
and palms resting on either side of your body facing the ground.
Inhale deeply. As you exhale, lift your body (the head, chest, and legs) from the ground.
Stretch out your arms so that they form a parallel line with your legs.
Your fingers should be in the same line as the toes. Gaze towards the toes.
As you hold the position, you should feel the abdominal muscles contracting.
Breathing normally, hold the posture for 30 to 60 seconds to start with.
Inhale, and then exhaling deeply, slowly relax and come back to the supine position.
Repeat this asana five times to begin with, working up to 30 times gradually. Relax for 15
seconds after each repetition.
Here Is The Video Naukasana / Boat Pose
Variations
You can also perform Naukasana with your fists closed as if you are holding the oars of a boat.
Benefits
Strengthens the abdominal muscles and helps remove belly fat

Improves the health of digestive organs
Strengthens arms, thighs, and shoulders
Caution
People suffering from blood pressure issues, heart problems, diarrhea, headache, and
insomnia must refrain from performing this pose. Also, pregnant and menstruating women must
not practice this pose.
Back To TOC
[ Read: Paripurna Navasana And Its Benefits ]
7. Ushtrasana (Camel Pose)
This is normally done to counter the Naukasana pose. The backward stretch that you
experience as you touch your ankles in this pose helps in toning the abdominal muscles. The
tension experienced by your belly muscles during Naukasana will now be released, and at the
same time, you will also enjoy a good stretch.
How To Do
Sit in Vajrasana.
Slowly, lift your body from your knees such that you are now sitting with your whole body
weight supported by your knees.
Your heels should make a perpendicular line with the ground.
Exhale deeply, and arch your back. Bring your hands behind your body, and try to hold
your ankles, one by one.
Tilt your head behind and stretch backwards, until you experience a stretch in your belly.
Hold the posture for 20 to 30 seconds to begin with, working your way to 60 seconds,
breathing normally.
Exhale and slowly relax.
Come back to Vajrasana.
Repeat this asana five times to begin with, working up to 30 times gradually.
Relax for 15 seconds after each repetition.
Here Is The Video Ushtrasana / Camel Pose
Variations
After you have attained the Ushtrasana pose, instead of returning to Vajrasana, slowly drop
your head back and stay that way. Ensure you practice this variation only after you have
mastered the original Ushtrasana pose.
Benefits
Strengthens the back muscles

Can improve posture
Treats fatigue, menstrual discomfort, and mild back pain
Caution
People who suffer from heart-related ailments, lower back or neck injury, and high blood
pressure must not perform this pose. Individuals who have migraine and insomnia must also
refrain from performing this pose.
Back To TOC
[ Read: Ushtrasana And Its Benefits ]
8. Uttanpadasana (Raised Foot Pose)
This pose helps in getting rid of the fat from your lower abdominal region as well as hips and
thighs. This pose is one of the most efficient and effective ways to eliminate the flab that gets
accumulated around your waist and hips during pregnancy.

each other. Keep your hands on either side of your body, palms facing the ground.

other, you separate them in the air.

9. Marjariasana (Cow Cat Pose or Cat Pose)
The forceful contraction experienced in the abdominal muscles while holding the posture helps
in melting the fat, and thus, reduces the belly size. This pose is also beneficial in enhancing the
flexibility of the spine.
How To Do
Sit in Vajrasana.
Breathing normally, rise from the position, and allow your body to come parallel to the floor
such that your body rests on your knees and palms.

shoulders facing the floor. Keep the head straight. Space out the knees slightly so that
your weight is spread out evenly.
Inhaling deeply, lift your head while pushing your back down, so that your body has a
concave structure.
Expand the abdominal region as much as possible to suck in the maximum amount of air.
Holding your breath, maintain the posture for about 15 to 30 seconds.
Exhale deeply and lower the head, while arching your back upwards. Keep your buttocks
and abdomen firm until you experience the contraction. Your head should be between your
hands.

organs.

Along with all these yoga poses for reducing belly fat, you should also concentrate on practicing
healthy food habits. Plus, make sure that your body is getting adequate levels of sleep as
studies have proven the negative impact of sleeplessness on your abdominal health.
Yoga Experts Tips To Reduce Belly Fat
Belly fat is most prevalent these days thanks to the unhealthy food habits, long sitting hours,
stressful life and lack of exercise. Belly fat besides making you unattractive is also a heads- up
for you to start taking your body seriously to avoid heart stroke, diabetes etc. So its important to
for you to loose that extra flab but in a natural way!!
1. Eve Johnson
1. Look at your whole body, not just your belly. If you round your
upper back and almost anyone who uses a computer, cooks,
or drives a car does then your belly is likely to stick out.
Practice backbends and chest opening poses to help stretch
and strengthen your upper back, and watch your belly fat magically disappear. Try lying down
for five minutes every day with a rolled blanket or a bolster under your upper chest, and your
head supported on a yoga block or blanket so it doesnt hang back.
2. Think about your pelvis as though it were a bowl of cherries. If you let the front of the bowl tip
down toward the floor, the cherries (or in this case, your organs) fall out. When your organs
drop and press against your abdominal muscles, they make them weaker. Instead, stand
in Tadasana (mountain pose) and lift the front of your pelvic bowl, until the front and back of
your pelvis are level. Youll feel your organs move in and up, and your abdominal kick into gear.
If you can do all of your standing poses without tipping your pelvis forward, youll be working
your belly muscles in every pose.
3. Whenever you do specific abdominal poses, keep your stomach muscles flat and broad. You
want to feel your belly moving down toward your spine, and out to the sides of your body. In
each pose, work where you can hold good alignment for 30 seconds to a minute. Stay focused
on how your stomach muscles are working, not on some ideal image of the pose. If your belly
puffs up, and your lumbar spine lifts away from the floor, youre wasting your time. To help you
feel how your core muscles should work, use your breath. Draw the sides of your navel in and
up on the inhalation, and widen your back on the exhalation. This exercise will help you feel that
work, and will strengthen your abdominals at the same time.
Eve Johnson: www.myfiveminuteyoga.com
2. David Procyshyn
1. Learn how to properly engage and strengthen your core

muscles. Not only will you become much stronger, but your
belly muscles will tone and look better.
2. Mix yoga with Pilates. These fusion classes are becoming very popular and are an incredible
workout., particularly for the abdominal muscles.
3. Do one or two power yoga classes every week, to get your heart rate up, work hard and
sweat!
David Procyshyn: www.doyogawithme.com
3. Ashley Herzberger
1. Plank Pose This pose is a total-body fat burner. If you only

do one core exercise a day, hold this one for one minute (or
more if you can!). Make sure youre actively pulling your core up
and in to activate your transversus abdominus (low core). If you
feel your low back collapsing, dont be afraid to lower your knees youll still get the core
benefits and youll be protecting your low back from injury.
2. Revolved Crescent Lunge Incorporating twists into your routine will not only aid your
digestion, they will also sculpt your oblique muscles. In revolved crescent lunge, youre using
your stabilizer muscles and your core to balance in your lower body while you wring out your
digestive organs in your mid-section and trim your waistline.
3. Donkey Kicks Rev up your metabolism and your heart rate with donkey kicks. Start in
Downward Dog, bend your knees low to the ground, and then hop your legs up, eventually
trying to stack your knees over your hips. Youll feel like youre prepping to jump into handstand.
Repeat these kicks rapidly the second your feet hit the ground, jump right back up 25-50
times. This is a great, quick way to boost your energy too.
Ashley Herzberger: www.ashleyjosephine.com
4. J. Brown
1. Eat less sugar and more fruits and vegetable

2. Be physically active
3. Let your minds perception shift and except your body as it
is.
J. Brown: www.yogijbrown.com
5. Cate Stillman
1. Eat dinner by 6 pm
2. Dont snack- space your meals
3. Wake up early: hydrate Poop And shake your booty for
at least 20 minutes..
Cate Stillman: www.yogahealer.com
6. Jill Miller
1. Your belly and its fat are a continuation of the tone of the rest
of your body, in order to reduce your waistline, make sure to
include all of your body parts in every move you make, simply
isolating your abdominals will not get you the look youre after.
2. Integrate more of your breathing muscles into your fitness and daily routines. Your breathing
muscles are your inner-most abdominal muscles. Activating them through deep concentrated
breathing will add to your overall muscle tone and give you better coordination.
3. Add self-abdominal massage to help the tissues of your abdomen stay pliable and internally
hydrated. Self-massage helps nutrients reach all of the tissues you are targeting and improves
the removal of waste.
Jill Miller: www.yogatuneup.com
7. Sydney Solis
1. Practice sitting meditation regularly. Notice that belly and its

fat as it moves up and down with your breath. Where does that
belly fat come from? Ask yourself, What am I eating that makes
this belly fat? It it good or bad for my health? Maybe I should refrain from eating it from now on.
2. Walk everyday. Move from your core, swing your arms, focus on your breathing and breathe
deep down to the belly area. Ask yourself, What am I holding on to around this belly and my
third chakra area? Am I covering up and protecting myself from something with this belly fat?
What emotions arise when I do this?
3. Stop drinking alcohol. Alcohol poisons the liver and dulls the immune system, slows
metabolism and increases weight gain. Alcoholic beverages calories tend to gather around the
belly and make fat. View life through a sober lens and engage with reality.
Sydney Solis: www.storytimeyoga.com
8. Kara-Leah Grant
1. Practice yoga at least three times a week, preferably five

times a week, doing 60 90 minutes of intense asana.
2. Practice Breath of Fire for five minutes every day.
3. Cultivate Mula Bandha and Uddiyana Bandha through a
Bandha Meditation Practice
Kara-Leah Grant: www.theyogalunchbox.co.nz
Along with practising yoga on regular basis having a well balanced meal, having lots of water,
avoiding processed foods, drinking green tea and staying away from stress might help you to
loose those bulges. Above all stay positive, happy and love your body!!!

Very informative and well-researched article on yoga poses. Would personally try the Cobra
pose and Bow pose. I think we all should try practicing few yoga postures and poses for a
better life and good health - no harm in giving our 'very own' exercise/way of life a try. Thank
you for sharing such an amazing write-up on yoga for reducing belly fat. Thanks :)
