Here are some yoga poses that require strong abs and will help to build your abdominal muscle strength.

Yoga Poses for Strong Abs:

Cat-Cow Stretch:

         Go down on all four but make sure yours knees are under your hip and the wrists under the shoulder. Visualize that your spine is one straight line that connects your shoulders to your hips. One inhale deeply. When you do this, curl your toes, drop your stomach and tilt your head back to stare at the ceiling above. This entire set of movements should be such that the first movement should begin from your toes and end with your head tilting. As you exhale, uncurl the toes, relax your spine, drop your head so that you are staring at your belly.

Do the Cat-Cow stretch for around 10 breaths everyday and this will help to strengthen your abs.

These yoga poses are excellent for strengthening the muscles of the abdomen and lower back. They are advised for pregnant women, who can do the yoga poses standing if lying on the floor is uncomfortable for them. There are variations of the poses and one such variation is supine pelvic tilts.

Lie on your back with your knees bent and the soles of your feet touching the floor. Now exhale and gently lift your hips towards your face. However, make sure that your buttocks do not leave the floor. If you are doing the exercise correctly, you will feel your lower back pressing into the floor. Hope the position for 10 seconds and then return to the starting position. Repeat the exercise around 10 times everyday to help make your abs strong. The same exercise can be done standing while leaning your back against the wall and keeping the knees slightly bent.
