Want to Banish Cellulite?

So I was perusing one of my favorite websites, Health.com and found this fabulous article on how to fight cellulite in your thighs and butt. Guess what the secret is? Yoga! Another great reason to practice yoga!

So here are their 8 recommended moves to help banish your cellulite that take 20 minutes and they recommend doing this workout at least three times a week.

1. Standing forward bend


2. Chair Pose


3. Eagle Pose


4. Brave Warrior



5. High lunge with twist

6. Cow Face Pose 


7. Bridge Pose- this is one of my personal favorites, it also helps those love handles!


8. Supported Shoulder Stand- this also helps to alleviate stress in the neck and shoulders.

In addition, they suggest adding a 30 minute cardio workout four days a week. Within 6 weeks they say you should see a substantial difference!

The reasoning behind these exercises helping to banish your cellulite is: "Rebuilding muscle tone in these trouble spots and burning excess fat can help smooth out cellulite and prevent future dimpling."

Try it out and let me know if it works for you!
