Double trouble shooter Yoga

These days, people are obsessed with losing weight. While it's healthy to be slim, it's ugly to be anorexic. The tricky thing is to achieve a balance, to lose the double chin without losing the glow in your face.

Since the face is the first place where your weight loss shows and the last place from where you can shift flab, let us deal with this problem area. Here's what I have to suggest. Double troubleshooter one: Sit with legs crossed, either padmasana, or semi padmasana. Keep your back straight and drop your head back. You'd feel the strain on your double chin area, but don't strain it too much. Try moving your lower jaw over the upper one and cover your upper lip with the lower one.

Try it for 10 counts, twothree times and relax.

Double troubleshooter two: With your mouth wide open, pull your bottom lip over your bottom teeth. Move your jaw up and down as if you're trying to scoop something up with it. Do it for 10 counts, twice. Double troubleshooter three: Lie down with your forehead on the ground. Keep the legs together and the arms at the sides with the palms by the side of the thighs. Breathing in, bring the arms closer to the shoulders and then bend the arms at the elbows to bring the palms right below the shoulders. Tilt the head upwards. Breathing in, arch the spine and, press ing the palms down, raise your torso. Stay for 20 counts. Slowly return to start. Juhi Garg is a Delhi-based yoga expert.
