Craving to lose weight? Turn to Yoga!

Yoga best way to lose weight

If the party next month is making you whine and cringe because you can not fit into a pretty black dress, here is your best friend in disguise, that is, yoga. The omniscience of yoga is of course well claimed and for the right reasons. It can not only help you lose weight almost magically but also make you feel good about your body. Find below yoga exercises that will help you lose weight like the swirl of a magic wand.

Breathing Exercise

Deep breathing exercises help spurt oxygen supply to different cells of the body, thereby keeping the system clean and influencing the digestive system to work properly.

Surya Namaskar

Surya Namaskar is a popular assortment of 12 yoga poses that together form a sequence of yoga poses. As far as the best of yoga poses is concerned, Surya Namaskar is said to be the best yoga technique for weight loss as it works the entire body and especially the big muscle groups compared with other even more strenuous workouts. If you are a beginner, you may start with a few rounds of it and gradually increase the frequency and number of rounds. Surya Namaskar is also known as the king of asanas.

Cobra Pose

The Cobra pose works wonders on the back and chest region. It helps to breathe deep, thereby causing oxygenated blood to be pumped to different parts of the body. This oxygenated blood is what triggers the body to burn more fat. Constant practicing of this yoga pose will ensure toned buttocks.

Warrior Pose

The warrior pose strengthens the thighs, hamstrings, ankles and legs because of the forward bend that the pose requires one to be in. This forward bend puts a lot of weight on the thighs, stimulating the abdominal organs that help in increasing stamina. With the build-up of stamina, you are likely to have the strength to go even longer than you would have, thereby helping you reach your goal within a shorter time frame.  

Side Bends

Often, in the tryst to work the muscles that are more visible, we forget cutting down fat from the core. It is very important to work on the muscles around the stomach as much as other muscle groups. After a particular age, the body tends to stop growing and all the fat starts accumulating, especially around the abdomen. Side bends are the best exercises for someone who wants to melt the love handles and muffin tops. Do not, however, expect to see drastic results because this yoga pose takes time to burn all the calories.

Bow Pose

The bow pose is an advanced yoga pose that helps in burning excess fat and toning the arms and legs. One may, in the beginning, feel the skin around the abdominal region stretching while doing the pose, but with time, you will get accustomed to it. The good news is that this stretching of skin indicates loosening up of fat in the region. If you continually practice this yoga asana, your fat will melt away.

The above-mentioned yoga poses can work wonders on your body, provided you practice every day.
