Pachimouttanasana By Yoga Guru Suneel singh

Paschimottanasana reduces fat in the abdomen

Method: Sit on the ground and stretch the legs stiff like a stick. Catch the toes with the thumb, index and middle fingers. While catching, you will have to bend the trunk forwards. Exhale and slowly bend without jerks till your forehead touches your knees. You can keep the face between the knees also. This facilitates the bending forwards. Take your own time. There is no hurry. Young persons with elastic spine can touch the knees with the forehead even in their very first attempt. In the case of grown-up persons with rigid spinal column, it will take a fortnight or a month for complete success in the posture.

Retain the pose for 5 seconds. Then gradually increase the period to 5 minutes.
