Do you want to strengthen your core and tone your thigh muscles without having to take supplements or chemicals. Yoga asanas can help you achieve that body.  First let’s take care of the myth: Having abs and toned muscles means one is strong and flexible. No, to be strong one should start by strengthening core and then move to other parts of the body.  Now let’s address “Thigh Gap”. Now everybody seems to think achieving Thigh Gap is the ultimate proof of flexibility. But No! Thigh gap is of no significance if you have achieved it without focusing on strengthening your muscles.  In the digital age, everyday new trends come and go and again come. It’s important to understand our body needs the right care. These trends may not help the body in the right way.  Yoga asanas, if practiced for hours, can do wonders for your body. On an average every asana can be practiced for 5 minutes a day. Here is the list of asanas for strong core: Naukasana or the Boat Pose Sarvangasa

What happens this way is our body starts depositing excess fat. This fat starts to cause all problems.  To lose weight, we don’t have to starve

We all have days in which we are occupied with some not so good thoughts; some kind of activity affects our mind and we are bothered by it. We keep thinking about them. These moments do not have a major significance in our lives in the future but at the moment we are full of them.  These thoughts make us do things which hurt us as well as others. We tend to get angry, we tend to say things or do things which spoil our relationship with them. To shield from all this, we should try Yogic ways to help us calm down during that time.  To overcome in these situations, our mind should focus on adopting positive habits in life.
