Want Slim Face Like Alia Bhatt, Try These Yoga Postures

Sculpted, lean and taut faces are in vogue. If your face has been perennially chubby, rounded and cherubic, all you want to do is move over the innocent look and transform it into a sleek and sultry one. Yoga is not as quick as the other slimming practices that you can resort to, but it is natural, painless and long-lasting. There are a plethora of face slimming exercises to help you achieve that.

# Simha Mudra

Kneel down and place your hands on your thighs. Drop your jaw and open your mouth wide. Stick your tongue out downwards, towards the chin, forcefully. While breathing through the mouth, make a sound from down your throat that replicates the roar of a lion. Repeat the exercise a couple of times.

# Jivha Bandha

Sit in the lotus position. Place your hands comfortably on your lap. Place the tip of your tongue against the upper wall of your mouth like you are trying to swallow the mouth. Keeping your tongue that way, open your mouth slowly and completely till you feel a stretch in your throat and neck. Repeat a couple of times. Breathe normally through your nose.

# Jalandhara Bandha

Sit down in the Lotus position. Breathe deeply. Place your hands on the knees, lift your shoulders up and bend forward. Press your chin firmly against your chest and in between your two collar bones, closing your food pipe. Hold your breath as long as possible. Release and repeat.

# Fish Face

Suck your cheeks and lips inwards and try to replicate a fish face. Holding that face, attempt to smile. You will feel a burn in your cheeks and jaw. Relax and repeat the exercise.

# Cheek Uplift

Sit comfortably and smile as wide as you can. Now place the index and middle finger of both your hands on both the cheeks. With the help of your fingers, lift your cheeks towards your eyes. Hold it there for a few seconds and relax. Repeat the exercise a couple of times.
