Yoga is a popular form of exercise and
stress buster around the world.
Apart from its meditative properties, this form of exercise can help you get rid of your extra
kilos. Let’s have a look at some postures that are perfect for weight loss.
Yoga Marches
The Yoga
march can be an effective warm-up exercise to kick-start your workout regime.
You can begin by placing your arms in a jogging position post which, you can
slowly begin the march in the same place you’re standing. Eventually, you must
try and bring your legs to a higher level. This exercise increases your heart
rate and is also effective on your legs.
Halasana
Hal, which stands for a plough
in Sanskrit, is the shape that the body takes when the Halasana is done. You
may begin by lying down on a yoga mat followed by taking your legs in the
upward direction till they hit the 90-degree angle. Now slowly push your legs
in the backward direction towards your head or take someone’s assistance to do
so. Exhale and you can return back to the normal position.
Trikonasana
As the name suggests, while performing this asana,
your body will take the shape of a triangle. In order to begin, take your leg
and place it at a maximum distance in the left direction. You may now move the
toe of your left foot facing the left hand side and inhale. Bend the left leg
from the knee and now exhale. The position of your left palm should be next to
the toe of the left foot. The final step would be to take your right hand straight
up, touching the ear. You can breathe normally now. This asana is beneficial
for the waist area of your body.
Dhanurasana
The stomach will be the area
that primarily takes the weight while performing this asana. To begin with it,
lie down on a yoga mat on your stomach with your chin touching the ground. Bend
both your legs and keep them away at a considerable distance holding them
firmly from the ankle. Now inhale and exhale pulling the legs in the upward
direction. The body must be stretched and the neck pushed backwards. Make sure
you do not jerk any part of the neck or back.
Practicing
these asanas on a regular basis can aid weight loss. In case you are unsure of
the accurate way of doing these postures,
you must consult an expert so as not to cause any physical injury to your body.
