This is a gentle practice for everyone that stretches the muscles of the entire body. It is one of the best asanas to lose weight and is also good for post pregnancy weight loss.

The pose starts to change ‘fat cell memory’ and gets the body to loosen the fat around the waist, abdomen, and above the chest. This is also a good stretching practice to begin a yoga fitness session. Do this slowly, as shown in the video; repeat 2 to 3 times.

These are all good for the back, hands, core strength and belly fat.
