Basic Yoga Practice for Weight Loss

Yoga Weight Loss Tips

Today’s day-to-day hectic life leaves us with no-respite-moment for healthy body and mind. We are always running in this fast-paced life. But if we try we can give ourselves few minutes of restful life which can definitely ensure us with good body shape and peaceful mind. Yoga may be the only solution for it. We have always heard that yoga gives strength, flexibility and peace of mind. But if we want to get back in shape, does Yoga help? And the answer is “yes”.

But before trying for any Yoga poses or Asanas, we should know some basic things about Yoga, which can be helpful in reducing stress in our life and keeps us completely in a shape. Back to shape means losing weight, enhancing muscle strength and increasing flexibility of the body.

Though there are many kinds of yoga, which can help you achieve your target of body shaping. But two broader categories are:

1. Flow or Vinyasa: this kind of yoga involves fast movement of the body from one particular pose to another pose and increases your heart beat quickly.
2. No flow: this kind of yoga is practiced slowly one pose after another with the ample rest in between. It does not increase your heart beat so quickly. But holding one pose for few minutes is very difficult.

Any yoga pose that you practice gives good strength, fitness and flexibility. But while you are particularly targeting for weight loss, then practicing Vinyasa yoga for at least three times a week will show good result.
