THE CAT COW
Take a deep breathe and curl your toes under, drop your tummy as you try gazing at the ceiling. When moving your spine your objective should be to begin at the tailbone so that you finish the move at the neck.
Breath out slowly as you rest the top of your feet on the floor, try to round your spine as you slowly drop the head until you can see your navel.
You can learn to repeat the cat cow pose with each inhalation and exhalation while moving your body as you breathe. Try to do this motion for five breaths as you attempt to move the entire spine only returning to the starting position with your last breathe.

THE COBRA POSE
For the cobra yoga pose, lie on the ground on your tummy with your hands under the shoulders. Bring up your entire upper body using the strength of your back muscles with your head held up. Try to resist from seeking the help of your hands as you let them remain on the ground or perhaps try to hold them over the hips at your back.

THE BOAT POSE
The boat pose is an exercise that can be done with or without any props that come with yoga. Begin in the seated position, try lifting your legs and the entire upper body so that your body forms a V-shape. If you find this hard, then you can bend the knees. Hold the position for at least 30 seconds and repeat twice. You can use two stools to support your legs if you are a beginner and feel a strain on your back.
THE SUN SALUTATION
The sun salutation yoga pose can also help you to burn belly fat quickly because as you progress with the poses you will actually feel your heart pumping faster even as your lungs open up.

Exhale and fold your body forward and try to reach your finger tips to your toes, bend your knees if you need to.
Inhale as you bend forwards, putting one leg in front and one leg behind you. Your leg in front should be at a right angle. Keep your head up straight.
Exhale and return your front leg to join your back leg. Try to place your weight on the hands and the toes while keeping your chin down so as to retain your breathe as you continue.
Inhale as you begin to lower your arms and stretching back into the cobra pose, toes remain curled under. Try to bend back as far as possible with shoulders and legs kept together. When exhaling curl your toes and raise your hips so that you finally end up in a V position.
