What gets a particular body to lose weight? Is it a high-intensity calorie burn or are there some underlying factors we are unaware off? Well, while different things work for different people, I’m here today to tell you why placing your bets on yoga for weight loss can give you the ultimate win.
So let’s get acquainted with some benefits of yoga shall we?
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, here are 5 asanas in this session on yoga for weight loss that promise to burn fat:
1. Downward-facing dog or adho-mukha svanasana
I’m sure you’ve heard of this one. This Asana helps unwind the entire body. It strengthens and tones the arms and shoulders, back, calves and hamstrings, lengthens the spine, and energises the entire body by bringing blood flow to your brain.
2. Lizard pose or utthan pristhasana
By embodying the spirit of the lizard we can strengthen our shoulder muscle, arms, chest and work on our glutes. Because who doesn’t want a good booty? By bringing awareness into this pose, we can also engage and strengthen the abdominal muscles and reduces excess fat around the belly and the hips.
3. Bow pose or dhanurasana
Looking for a way to tone and strengthen your belly and back? Then this asana is your saviour. This asana also helps improve posture and stretches the entire front of the body.
4. Twisted triangle pose or parivrtta trikonasana
This standing, deep-twisting yoga asana stretches the whole body. It compresses and massages your digestive organs, while challenging your balance and focus.
Twisting your torso massages your internal organs, which tones them and helps detoxify the body. Cleansing and toning these internal organs also improves metabolism.
5. Bridge pose or setu bandhasana
This asana is brilliant for strengthening the back, thighs, shoulders, and glutes. It helps with reproduction issues and helps improve lung capacity.
