Bhujangasana

Also known as the Cobra Pose, this asana not only tones the belly but also stretches the chest region. Your upper and lower back muscles will be strengthened and become more flexible. Say goodbye to digestive issues and enjoy a good metabolism leading to a flatter tummy. 

Dhanurasana

Dhanurasana of the bow pose is one of the most common workouts that comes with great advantages. As you stretch your body and arch backwards, it facilitates smooth digestion, enhances metabolism, and regulates appetite. Shedding calories becomes easier if you perform this asana. 

Naukasana

Naukasana's other name is the boat pose. The exercise caters to your core muscles, resulting in the expansion and contraction of the muscles around your tummy. It builds core strength, tones the belly, and hence burns fat. It can be a little challenging in the beginning but as the saying goes: Practice makes a man perfect. 

Ustrasana

Ustrasana or backbend camel pose stretches the muscles in the abdominal region, stimulating the digestive system. As you backstretch, touching your arms and legs, the abdominal muscles get toned, aiding in weight loss and reducing those extra pounds around the belly.

Trikonasana

Trilokasana or the triangle pose engages your core muscles, significantly reducing fat deposits around the belly and waist area. For speedy weight loss, work on the muscles of your arms and legs. What's more, Trilokasana also improves digestion which also impacts the toning of the body. 

Halasana

When you execute Halasana or the plow pose, pressure is applied to your abdomen which further strengthens the muscles around the region. If you do this regularly, the adipose tissue around the abdomen gets reduced delivering your desired flatter belly. 

Tadasana

This is one of the easiest yoga asanas that you can include in your fitness regime. Also referred to as the Mountain Pose, this workout makes an impact on almost every muscle of the body. Do it frequently and the pose will gradually reduce the belly fat, enabling a toned look.
