Yoga can reduce your belly, and these four simple moves are must-learn

Yoga has been very popular in recent years because it not only helps women build a perfect body, but also helps them cultivate their mind and transcend themselves. Can mothers who have just given birth do yoga? Experts say that postpartum yoga is not impossible as long as the movements are not too strenuous. The following simple yoga moves are very suitable, and can also achieve the purpose of tightening the abdomen and reducing the belly.

1. Standing forward bend

Although the movements may seem simple, they are actually comprehensive stretches that stretch the back lines, arms, chest, abdomen, and legs, making for a full-body exercise.

Step 1

Stand with your feet naturally apart, shoulder-width apart, and stretch your arms out behind you, parallel to the ground, with your fingers interlocked.

Step 2

Bend our upper body forward and try to bring our chest and legs as close as possible. Raise your hands, keeping your arms straight and not bent.

Bend your upper body as far as possible, feel the stretch in your back, and suck your abdomen in instead of bulging it out. Feel the changes in your body and feel your breathing become faster.

Step 3

To reach the maximum limit of your body, hold for 5 breaths, then put down your hands and slowly stand up, but be careful not to be too forceful. You can do it a few more times.

2. Back wall leg press

Step 1

Fold the mat in half and add a thicker layer to avoid injuring the kneecap. Kneel down on your right leg and support your knee on the mat with the support point 20 cm away from the wall. Straighten your right foot, turn it up, and put your toes against the wall.

Step 2

Bend your left leg and press your hips down. We need to feel our hip joints constantly stretching.

Step 3

Place your left hand on your left leg, cross your right hand, straighten your upper body, pull your stomach inward, stretch your upper body upward, hold for 5 breaths, slowly lower your legs, then switch to your left leg and repeat the exercise.

3. Side Leg Raise

This is a movement that uses the upper limbs to separate the legs. It is quite stretching and can exercise the whole body.

Step 1

From a push-up position, turn your body to the right, shifting your weight onto your right hand and foot.

Step 2

Without losing your balance, slowly lift your left leg upwards with the goal of grabbing your left toes with your left hand. If you can't do it, don't force it.

Step 3

If you can approach it in one breath, gradually lift your leg to the highest position, hold for five breaths, and then switch to the other side.

4. Back leg lift and forward bend

The movement looks quite difficult, but it is controllable. If you can't balance, you can practice against a wall or ask someone for help.

Step 1

Stand up straight, then slowly bend your upper body until your hands are supporting the ground. Then lift your left leg up without forcing it, and raise it into a straight line.

Step 2

Pull your abdomen inward, hold for five breaths, then switch to your left leg for support and repeat the above movements.
