Flat Tummy Yoga Poses

Weight loss can be relaxing and healing too. We are giving you some of the best yoga poses for a smaller tummy.

We all want those great abs that come from a great diet and a good exercise routine. However, during the holidays, it may be harder than normal to eat right. While it is tempting to overindulge, remember to keep your dietary wits about you and to keep your training routine going as well.

Along with exercise, yoga can provide weight loss benefits. Certain yoga poses can help make your muscles more flexible, which has shown to help with weight loss. The right poses can target your abdominal muscles better than crunches.

Let’s take a look at these amazing yoga poses for a smaller tummy.

The tree pose

The Tree Pose (Vriksha – asana) replicates the graceful, steady stance of a tree. Unlike most yoga poses, the Tree Pose requires keeping our eyes open in order to maintain body balance. 

Camel Pose

The Camel Pose (Ushtra-asana) is a powerful posture for stretching the spine, back muscles, shoulders, and arms. It is best to practice it later in your asana routine after most of the muscles are limber and you have worked the back and shoulders.

Boat Pose

The boat pose strengthens and challenges the stabilizing muscles within your core, making it one of the best yoga moves for flattening your belly.

Downward dog pose

One Legged Dog/Downward Dog (Split) Pose (Eka Pada Svanasana) - Level: Intermediate; Enhances hamstring flexibility and hip flexion; Stretches Achilles' tendons and groin; Improves digestion and balance.
