Yoga Poses For Losing Face Fat

Here are five yoga poses you can practice for a slim and taut face:

1. Simha Mudra (Lion Pose)

Benefits: While practicing Simha Mudra, or lion pose, all you stimulated. It is one the most beneficial poses for neck and thyroid glands, explained Shruti.

Procedure:

• Kneel down and place your palms on your thighs.
• Look down and bring your chin close to your neck.
• Open your mouth and stick your tongue out as much as you can. You should resemble a roaring lion. 
• Inhale while making a roaring sound like a lion.
• Repeat for 20-30 seconds.

2. Jivha Bandha (Locked Tongue Pose)

Benefits: This pose chisels your face and tones your jawline.

Procedure:

• Sit in the lotus pose or Padmasana. If this feels uncomfortable, you can sit cross-legged on the floor.
• Place your palms on your legs.
• Next, press the tip of your tongue across the roof of your mouth.
• Gently open your mouth while keeping your tongue touching the roof of the mouth. Open your mouth until you feel a stretch in your throat and neck.
• Repeat a few times.

• Hold for 30-60 seconds to get rid of the double chin.
• Gently, come out of this pose.

Procedure:

• Place your hands on your hips.
• Straighten your spine and gently recline backward until your palm touches your feet.
