Some ladies are lucky: their waist is naturally thin. For others, genes are not a death sentence. You can strengthen your abdominal muscles, improve digestion and make your figure more feminine with the help of yoga. We have selected seven of the most effective asanas for your waist.
Before performing asanas, be sure to do a 10-minute warm-up: you need to warm up your muscles to avoid injury. You should also avoid doing yoga in a cold room. While performing asanas, you should pay attention not only to body position, but also to breathing. It is deep, calm breathing that will help you relax and deepen the pose.
The most effective poses for a thin waist are:
- Lateral pull. Reduces fat deposits in the waist area.
- Staff Pose is one of the main yoga poses that strengthens the back.
- Sage Marichi Pose. By twisting at the waist, the abdominal volume naturally decreases.
- Half boat pose. Strengthens the abs and back.
- Candle pose – shoulder blade stand, a classic gymnastic exercise.
- Locust pose. Good for digestion.
- Plank, the benefits of which have already been written more than once by TricksHelper.
The videos will help you perform waist exercises correctly and not harm your body.
1. Side pull
Do not raise your pelvis too high. You can use a block to support the “lower” hand.
2. Staff Pose
You can lean on your hands so as not to round your back.
3. Pose of the Sage Marichi
Do not lift your buttocks off the floor. If you can’t clasp your hands behind your back, use a strap. The most important thing is to stretch the spine.
4. Half-boat pose
Do not tilt your head back. If your abdominal muscles are very weak, then first you can leave your feet on the floor until your abdominal muscles become stronger.
5. Candle Pose
The body weight should only be on the shoulders. If breathing is difficult, it means you are not stretching your spine enough, but you shouldn’t turn your head.
6. Locust Pose
Do not twist your neck, the entire spine should be one line.
7. Plank
Classic
Side
You should stay in each pose for a while. Start with five breaths, gradually increasing the retention time and deepening the pose.
