Conventional wisdom tells us that we need to raise our heat rate for an extended period of time in order to lose weight. Therefore, many would say we cannot lose weight through yoga. But we beg to differ.
Of course there are many benefits to incorporating yoga into your daily life. Once you have established a regular routine of yoga, you begin to feel better about yourself and your body becomes stronger and more flexible. Does yoga help you lose weight? We say yes.
There are many benefits to doing yoga regularly. Yoga allows you feel better about your body as you become stronger and more flexible, as you tone your muscles, reduce stress, and improve your well-being. But does it help you lose weight?
Power and Vinyasa yoga classes can get your heart pumping, which causes a greater calorie burn than slower yoga classes. But, your perceptions change, you take better care of your body with regular yoga as part of your life.
Through Yoga you achieve mind/body awareness. As a result you treat your body differently, take better care of it and are more careful about the foods you eat; as a result, having a daily yoga practice results in weight loss.
