Yoga Asanas To Reduce Belly Fat. Pavanamuktasana (Wind Relieving Pose)

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.
