Next, place your right hand at your side for balance and touch your left elbow to the outside of your right knee. Hold for three breathes and switch sides. The twisting motion of this yoga posture, called marichyasana, functions as an internal abdominal massage that triggers the release of appetiite suppressing brain chemicals.

*The photo above is a variation of this posture, you may place both hands on the bed for support. Do not attempt this posture if you suffer from asthma or back injury.
