Pot belly - Any remedy through YOGA

surprise · 06-11-2009, 06:12 AM

Hi Iam 35 yrs old and practicing basics of YOGA for the first time in my life for the past 10 days. I weight around 65 kgs and of height 5'8" with a very lean structure have thin legs like (sorry Iam not permitted to post a link of a hen)

bit of exaggeration. My problem is I have a pot belly which is bit flexible and loose like that of a women who have delivered baby. If I inhale exposing the belly out, Iam sure it looks like a bottom of the pot. Also I suffer from external hemorrhoid which has very less impact, but the fissures remains there.

I wanna get rid of both of them. Have started to avoid spicy foods and junk foods which is helpful to get remedy from both of my problems. I just would like to find out if there are any specific yoga postures (with pics) would help me out

You might also consider bellydancing -- the undulation technique teaches control and awarness of how and where you hold ab muscles.

I don't do weight by kilograms but you probably just need to loose some weight. Change your diet and do power yoga 3-6 days a week.

The answer is to focus on toning the core of your body. You need to find exercises that concentrate on the abdominal region. It is also important to find a practice that helps to tone the lower back, as you will need good back support to envelop the abdominal region. Good old sit ups twice a day will help, but you also need to do some cardio, preferably for at least 30min a day. Alternatively you can practice an asana series that requires great strength and stamina, like one of the flow practices.

Standing foreword bends. I've heard of improvements. For postnatal yoga, It helped me flatten my tummy back out.
