Posted by indiayogafoundation on April 30th, 2019

You find out that you are pregnant. You go through an emotional rollercoaster. You experience unconditional love and life changes forever. Most women experience the 9-10 months of pregnancy as a transformational journey that is filled with tears, joy and of course physical, hormonal and mental changes. It’s the beautiful magic of nature to create a little human being in such a “short” time.

Becoming mother is the most natural, yet most life-changing experience a woman can go through. It’s not a secret that more and more women try yoga to stay calm, nurturing and caring during pregnancy and post-pregnancy. You might have heard of post-pregnancy depression. Many women feel out of physical balance after they deliver a child. The average woman gains between 11 to 18 kg during pregnancy, and not all of it is gone when the child is there. Getting rid of the extra kilos takes time and one has to be patient.

Have you incorporated yoga into your daily routine yet? Yoga is a great tool to reduce belly fat and the overall extras within a few weeks. Today we want to discuss how you can (even from home) reduce belly fat after delivery.

Once your child is there, you need to take rest for at least four weeks. After that you can start to exercise again and slowly get back into shape. The first priority has your child of course, but why shouldn’t you feel good and happy in your skin? So let´s begin…

5 Steps to Reduce Belly Fat with the Yogic Lifestyle

1. Drink lots of water during the day and begin your morning with 1 L warm lemon water that you drink quickly after waking up (within 15 minutes)

2. Surya Namaskar is a very effective dynamic sequence of asana that help you to increase your metabolism, burn fat and feel energised for the day. Practise 6 rounds every morning and double the number if rounds every ten days.

3. Naukasana or Boat Pose is an ultimate fat burner that lets your belly fat melt quickly. To begin with, hold this posture for 10 seconds and slowly increase up to 10

4. Vakrasana or Spinal Twist helps you to tone your abdominal region, improve digestion and naturally reduce abdominal fat.

5. Ardh Halasana is the ideal pose to strengthen the pelvis and abdomen. You can slowly build up strength again and reduce weight.

Once you get into a regular practice, you should consider joining a yoga teacher training in India. Did you know that during a yoga teacher training in India, you can get back to your normal weight and increase your mental well-being within 25 days? Yoga India Foundation, for example, offers a yoga teacher training in Rishikesh which is also known as the Yoga Capital of the world.

A yoga teacher training in Rishikesh is an intensive yoga course in which you practise and study yoga for around 12 hours per day. You will be introduced to various secrets, have an advanced practice, and learn about pranayama techniques to feel grounded and balanced.
