I realize the spots above are the ones most of us seem to target when trying to lose weight,so
I have made sure to go over them first.
Hot Yoga for weight loss too will help:
One pose that some Yogis and Yoginis state to be a versatile enough pose for the whole body will be theshoulder-Stand.It is best practiced with its counter poses,in facet,since thiese poses have effects on
the metaphysical and spiritual aspects of our lives,it will be safe to say never execute a yoga pose without counter posing
it.You may throw some tings out of normalcy.Here's brief overview on the shoulder-stand as a yoga pose for weight loss plans:
Spread a thick blanket on the floor and place your yoga mat on it.Lie on the back.Slowly raise the legs.Lift trunk,hips and legs
to a vertical position.Rest the elbows firmly on the floor and support the back with both hands.Raise the legs till they become vertical.
Press the chin against the chest.This is the chin lock.While performing this pose,the back of the neck,the posterior part of the head and
the shoulders should touch the floor.Breathe in counts of 5-5-5(inhalation,retention and exhalation).Don't allow the body to shake.Its counter
poses are the bridge and fish poses which will target your forearms/thighs and chest/neck respectively.As i promised;here is the Breath of
Fire breathing exercise that you can add to your youga practice to speed up the burning of calories.
Breath of Fire Exercise
(aka Kapalabathi or Bellows Breath)
Take a few breaths and eyes closed(as thy should be when performing all breathing exercise)make a sudden contraction of the abdomen with a
backward push.This leads to a sudden yet firm expulsion of staganant air from the lungs.
Workout
Now follow this with a sudden relaxation(which naturally makes the new air rush in)now perform the exercise in this manner:passive inhalation andactive expulsions at a rate of sudden abdominal push per second one after the other.A round should have 15-20 expulsions.Do not exceed 3 rounds.You
may gradually increase t 120 expulsions per round and then perform only 2 rounds.(As soon as you are doing 50 expulsions per round, do not exceed
2 rounds!)Between each round take a pause for about 30 seconds of normal breathing.Now there you have it,the information needed it get you started on
the use of Yoga for weight loss:The poses for the trouble spots,the bellows breath,the shoulder-stand and the almighty Sun Salutations.
