Ok, let’s get started with WHY yoga is so effective for fat loss…
No no, that’s not a made up term... It’s a real thing. In fact, the term comes
from yoga practitioners being well known for having great butts!
Researchers from Seattle found that overweight people who practice yoga
regularly tend to lose weight.
“Those practicing yoga who were overweight to start with lost about 5
pounds during the same time period that those not practicing yoga gained
14 pounds,” says Kristal, the head researcher.
That’s great news if you’re trying to lose fat! Sculpting a beautiful, healthy,
and energetic body requires balance, strength, core stability and
flexibility.
That’s NOT what you want if you’re looking to sculpt your body and lose
weight.
We highly suggest doing 3-7 rounds of this “flow” 3-5 times per week!
Repeat 3x.
Begin by kneeling with your knees shoulder width apart and your feet flat
on the floor.
Grab your heels with your hands. Then begin lifting your hips up and
arching your back at the same time. Lean your head back to look at the
ceiling.
Repeat 3x.
Focus on tightening the core muscles while you’re in this position and make
sure your butt stays in line with the body and doesn’t drop down or raise up
below your body line.
Repeat 3x.
Bring your feet up into the air and reach back with both hands to hold onto
your outer ankles.
Inhale deeply and lift your heels up toward the ceiling, drawing your thighs
up, chest, and head off the mat.
Repeat 3x.
Lift the arms up and lock the fingers together with the index fingers pointing
upward.
Keep the head in between the elbows and arch the back.
Exhale bringing the arms to the sides and shift the weight back so that the
right knee comes back under the body next to the left knee.
Hold 20 seconds.
Use your hands and feet to lift up off the floor until your back is parallel to
the floor and your arms are perpendicular to the floor.
Repeat 3x.
Inhale deeply and press your upper body off the ground and straighten your
arms.
Repeat 3x.
Begin in garland pose, which is a seated squat position with your arms on
the insides of your legs.
Place your arms firmly on the mat in front of you and your knees on the
outside of the elbows (beginners) or up near the armpits (advanced).
Slowly lean forward and balance your weight on your arms. But use your
CORE to stay balanced and focused. Tighten your core and let it be your
focus rather than your arms.
