Fat around your waist makes it difficult not only to wear the clothes of your choice but is extremely unhealthy for your health. Do these easy yet effective yoga asanas to reduce your waist to a happy size.
Anjaneyasana: Face downwards in a dog pose and shift your right foot between your hands. Keep your right knee in alignment with your heel. Slowly and steadily bring your knee towards the floor. Stretch your leg left behind, breathe in while lifting your body and keep it upright. Now stretch your arms to the sides and then upwards. Ensure your chest is pushed outwards and the back is properly arched. Lift your head upwards and stretch your fingers towards the ceiling. While breathing hold the pose for some time and then bring your hands down on the floor.
Chakki chalanasana: Sit and keep your legs apart. Clasp your hand with your arms stretched in front of you. Breathe in and start moving your upper body the front and then to the right, forming an imaginary circle. Keep breathing in as you go forward to the right and breathe out when you go forward left. Maintain your breathing while breathing. Take 5 rounds clockwise and anticlockwise each.
Low lunge: Start with a down facing dog position or adhomukho. While breathing out place your left foot in front in between your hands and keep the other leg straight behind. Breathe in and raise your right hand towards the ceiling. Twist to the right and look at your right hand. Your right hand and your front leg should bear your weight. Now bring your right hands down slowly and go back to the downward facing dog position. Repeat on the other side.
Trikonasana or triangle pose: Sand straight with your legs apart. Turn one of your foot outwards to face your toes sideways and turn the other one slightly inwards. Bend your hips and lower one arm towards the sideways turned leg and keep the other arm raised towards the sky. While bending down exhale out. You can place your arm either on your shin, ankle, or knee. Try and touch the floor with your palm. Count till 5 to hold the pose. Breathe out and then stand. Repeat this on the other side.
Utkatasana: Stand with your back straight. Breathe in, keep your feet wide apart and keep move your toes outwards. Breathe out, followed by inhaling to squat down until your thighs should be parallel the floor. Maintain the axis of your backbone from the tailbone to the crown of your head. Join your palms at your chest level. Hold this position for good 8-10 seconds while deep breathing. Eventually exhale slowly to release and come back to the starting position.
