Blast flab with yoga

Do these and watch that stubborn fat melt away.

Jalandhara bandha
Sit in any meditative posture keeping back and neck straight. Inhale deeply. Keeping chest high, hold your breath and lock chin against your chest. Hold the posture for as long as you can. Release chin, look up and exhale. Repeat only 3 times.

Sarvangasana
Lie flat on your back keeping your arms by the side. Slowly raise your legs to a 90 degree position. Lift hips and support them with hands as shown. Hold for 10-30 seconds. Remember to breathe normally. Slowly come back to the start position.

Marjariasana variation
Sit on your knees, keeping them shoulder-width apart. Now, interlace your fingers behind your back. Breathing normally, slowly bend forward till your head touches the mat. Follow the movement by raising your hands as shown. Relax. Hold the position for around 30 seconds and repeat.

Kandharasana
Lie on your back keeping arms by your side, palms facing down. Bend your legs and hold your ankles with both hands. Slowly raise your hips up as much as you can. Hold this position for 30 seconds while breathing normally. Slowly lower your hips to the ground.

Rhyme to find the zone
Poetry can prevent heart disease, as a joint study at the Universities of Berne in Switzerland and Witten/Herdecke in Germany shows. Measuring participants’ heart rates while and after they read poetry, researchers found the heart rates slowed to match breathing rates.
