Double-Chin Yoga Asana
Simhasana / Lion pose
Simhasana, also known as the lion pose, gives good exercise to the facial and neck muscles, keeping the skin tight. It is one of the rare asanas where you need to make the sound. The roar releases the tension in the body which stimulates and energizes the throat muscles. It also helps retain the health of the ear, nose, throat, and eyes.
Bhujangasana / Cobra pose
The cobra pose opens and stretches the throat region completely. Stretch your neck as far back as possible and hold for at least 30-60 seconds. Repeat. Regular practice of this pose tones the neck muscles thus reducing the double chin. With the practice of this yoga pose, you can also get rid of belly fat and saggy arm fat.

This back-bending pose gives a good stretch to the entire neck and lower-facial muscles, which helps to carve a chiseled jawline. It releases the tension from the spine and stimulates the nervous system, thus giving a radiant glow to the skin.
Matsyasana / Fish pose
