Tummy Toning Yoga Poses

These are all my all time favorite yoga moves that I do daily and now I am sharing with you!

 Warrior 3

Stand with your feet together. Inhale as you extend your arms out wide in T position or straight overhead for a more advanced variation.

Exhale as you bend forward at your hips, lifting your right leg straight behind you coming into Warrior 3. Draw your navel toward your spine and hold for five breaths. Then come to stand, lower your right leg, and repeat with the left leg lifted for another five.

Standing Hand to Big Toe D

Begin standing with both feet together and your hands on your hips. Shift weight into your left leg. Inhale as you raise your right leg up, keeping your core strong while stacking your shoulders directly over your hips and your left leg. If you can't hold your leg straight out, just bend the knee — you're still working your abs.

Hold Standing Hand to Big Toe D for five breaths and then repeat lifting the left leg.

Dolphin Plank

From Downward Facing Dog, inhale and shift your weight forward coming into plank position (top of a push-up). Exhale as you lower onto your forearms so that your shoulders are stacked directly above your elbows and your body is parallel with the floor.
Dolphin Plank is an intense pose, so if you can't hold for five breaths, lower one or both knees to the floor.

Balancing Star

Begin in Downward Facing Dog and step both feet together. Move your right hand to the left about six inches so it's at the upper center of your mat. Step your right foot forward two inches and plant the sole of your right foot firmly on the mat, so your toes are pointing away from you. Inhale as you roll open to your right side and lift your left hand off the mat. Raise your left leg up into the air.
Gaze at your lifted hand and hold Balancing Star for five breaths. Keeping your core engaged will help you stay balanced. Repeat this pose on the other side.

Crow

Begin in a squat, placing your hands shoulder width distance apart on the mat. Spread your fingers as wide as you can, creating a strong, stable base. Straighten your legs slightly, placing your knees as high up onto your triceps (back of your arms) as possible. Slowly shift weight into your palms and lift your feet off the ground.
Stay here for five breaths gazing at the floor in front of you.

Boat

Sit on the floor with your legs in front of you. Bend your knees and lift your legs off the floor, bringing your knees in toward your chest with your shins parallel to the floor. Sit up as tall as you can and take a breath in as you slowly begin to straighten your legs. Your legs don't need to be straight since the action of keeping your spine long and drawing your belly in is what works your abs here.
Hold Boat pose for five breaths.

Intense East

From a seated position with your legs extended straight out in front of you, place your hands behind your hips about six to eight inches, with your fingers pointing toward your toes. As you inhale, press into your hands and feet firmly, lifting your hips into the air. Lift them as high as you can so your spine is in a long line. Slowly release your head back, looking behind you, and open through your throat.Stay here in Intense East pose for five deep breaths, then lower your hips to the floor.

8 Crooked Limbs Prep

Sit on your bum with your legs straight in front of you. Bend your right knee and hold your right foot with your left hand. Bring your right arm underneath your right leg and use your left hand to help push your right knee as high as you can on top of your right triceps.
Plant your palms on the floor and bend your right elbow slightly to keep your knee in place. Press into your palms firmly, engage your abs, and with an inhale lift your hips off the floor. If it's easy, lift your left leg off the ground, too. You're sure to feel a burn in your belly after five breaths.
