We speak to two experts to learn how to practise these yoga postures and equipment-free exercises at home, which helps to not only stay fit, but also cut the calories.

Yoga postures

Camel pose (ustrasana)
. Kneel in a way that your knees are aligned with the shoulders. The soles of your feet can face upwards or remain tucked. Place both hands on your lower back and bring your elbows as close as you can to each other.
. Flex your glute muscles, inhale and slowly bend over backwards. Stay in this position for a count of five breaths and then, open up your chest.
. Once you feel comfortable in this position, stretch your right hand and place it on your right heel. Do the same with your left hand. Keep the neck in a neutral position — do not strain or flex the neck.
. If you feel any discomfort in your lower back, you can go back to the previous position or release the posture.
