Hate the LOVE (handles!) aka obliques

Modified Triangle Pose
(Repeat...The Holidays are HERE people! I'm reposting this to save ALL of our waistbands this Thanksgiving!)

This is a yoga pose designed to strengthen the obliques (love handles).

Start by laying on your side, shoulder in line with your elbow.

Feet are stacked on top of each other.

Use your top hand to push your body up into THIS pose. Top arm reaches to the ceiling.
**LIFT YOUR WAISTBAND TO THE SKY** (this is THE trick!)

Eyes can look up to the ceiling like THIS pic. OR down to the ground like the first pic.
Hold this pose for 30 seconds.
FOCUS: 1. Lifting waistband to the ceiling 2. breath slow, deep in through nose, out through mouth.

HAPPY TRIANGLE-ing!

  1. Yeah! I am so happy! Ok, here are my questions. Do you do this in reps and how many would you do? How often would you do this?
