Winter is the season of celebrations and merriment.

During the holiday season, everyone is in the mood to celebrate and party.

Which also means that you may be ordering in and feasting on a lot of junk, unhealthy food and beverages.

Although it might seem impossible to resist your temptations and stay in shape, according to celebrity yogini and wellness entrepreneur Ira Trivedi, you can turn to yoga for help.

Following simple yoga techniques like breathing and stretching for a few minutes can prevent you from gaining excessive weight.

How can controlled breathing help you from gaining weight?

"When you control your breath, you control your mind. When you control your mind you control your senses and urges towards unnecessary eating and binging on sugar, carbonated beverages etc," explains Ira.
