Yoga, as it seems, offers great holistic approaches to maintaining a healthy body and mind. The greatest benefit it has to offer is toward the reduction of belly fat. Smayjak Yoga School presents a carefully constructed program of 30 minutes structured, beginner-friendly yoga sessions designed to tone the belly and its surrounding areas while benefiting the general well-being.
Step-by-Step Guide to the Session
- Child’s Pose (Adho Mukha Virasana)
Firstly, sit on your heels; keep your knees wide open with big toes touching. Now extend your arms forward and press your forehead on the mat. Now take the next five breaths while relaxing and moving oxygen to your body.
Benefit: This asana is ideal for seeking hamstring stretching as well as lower back and hip stretching with a quieting effect on the mind.
- Chest Opening Stretch
From Child’s Pose, clasp your hands behind your back. Inhale and lift your chest, gazing up, feeling a nice stretch in your arms and shoulders. Exhale and bring your forehead back to the mat. Repeat for several rounds.
Benefit: This serves to open the chest, stretch the biceps and triceps, and enhance flexibility.
- Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana)
Kneeling on your hands and knees with your wrists straight below your shoulders and knees under your hips. Inhale to arch your back, lifting your head and tailbone (Cow Pose). Exhale to round your spine, tucking your chin (Cat Pose). Repeats for 5-7 breaths.
Benefit: enhance contours of the spines and add massaging abdominal organs that improve digestion.
- Extended Arm-Leg Stretch
Start on your hands and knees, then extend your right arm forward and your left leg back. On the exhale, engage the core to bring the knee and elbow together. Inhale and extend again. Repeat 5 to 7 rounds on each side.
Benefit: This strengthens the core and improves balance.
- Plank Pose (Phalakasana)
For best results, make sure to transition yourself into a plank pose and ensure that your shoulders are placed exactly above your wrists. Instead of letting your body bend, you have to make sure it remains straightened along the entire length. Hold the position for a few breaths, inwardly pulling your belly button.
Benefit: Tones the abdomen and strengthens arms and shoulders.
- Push-Ups
From the platform of Plank Pose, then lower your body into a push-up style while elbows are close to sides. Carry out as many repetitions as you like.
Benefit: It increases upper body strength while involving the core.
- Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)
Fill your toes and keep your hips at a height, bringing an inverted V-form. Walk alternately keeping your knees bent, with a straightened spine.
Benefit: At once it stretches up the hamstrings and the calves while it also develops the core and arms strength.

Then, from Downward Dog, bring your right knee towards your right wrist and extend your left leg straight back behind you. Hold here for a few breaths before switching sides
Benefit: Opening hips, stretching thighs and relieving lower back tightness.
