Stubborn belly fat is often the most persistent guest at the party. Whether it's driven by a sedentary lifestyle, hormonal shifts, or a penchant for late-night snacks, the abdominal area is notoriously difficult to tone. While high-intensity interval training (HIIT) gets the heart rate soaring, yoga offers a uniquely holistic approach to weight management that addresses the root causes of weight gain.

Yoga isn't just about stretching; it is an incredible tool for core metabolic activation. By combining physical postures (asanas) with controlled breathing and mindfulness, you can lower cortisol levels—the primary hormone responsible for storing visceral fat around your internal organs.
