Performing the Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana) in yoga can help strengthen your core muscles, but it's essential to note that spot reduction is for belly fat. Here's how to do the Cobra Pose:
Lie face down on your yoga mat with your legs together and your toes pointed outward.
Place your palms flat on the ground, beneath your shoulders and fingers pointing forward.
Inhale and gently and lift your chest off the ground, using your back muscles. Keep your lower body and pelvis on the floor.
Press your pubic bone down into the mat to protect your lower back.
Keep your shoulders relaxed and away from your ears. Your neck in a neutral position or slightly extended.
Hold the pose for 15-30 seconds, breathing deeply.
Exhale as you slowly drop your upper body back down to the mat.
You can repeat this pose a few times, gradually increasing the duration as your flexibility and strength improve.
