These 13 Yoga Poses Will Help You Lose Weight By Burning Fat From The Inside Out

Nov 30, 2018 by apost team

The ancient science of Yoga has long been heralded as a peace-giving, health-boosting, and flexibility producing a system that brings a holistic bent to physical culture.

And guess what? It burns fat, too!

For those who don’t like going to the gym or running in the hot sun, yoga can provide you with a less-sweaty way to burn that fat.

While other forms of exercise & diet plans concentrate on calorie restriction and excessive and strenuous movements to shed enough calories so that the body starts using up its extra storage of energy (i.e., fat), yoga takes an opposite approach and removes the fat from the inside out. In other words, from the root cause.

With yoga, it is all about reducing stress. But what does that have to do with burning fat?

Glad, you asked…

Because most of us live in a fast-paced, high-stress environment we often eat to reduce our burdens - momentary satisfaction takes our minds off of the problems at hand.

Yet, this action creates more stress as overeating causes cortisol levels to rise along with insulin levels within the body to combat this excessive food intake and as modern science now knows both these hormones are known to store fat instead of using them for fuel.

That is why turning to yoga to calm the mind and body is a great way to stop excessive eating due to stressful situations as well as to help stop stress from appearing within the mind no matter the situation (a benefit that accrues over time from long-term yoga practice).

Her is the exact yoga routine to reduce the stress that leads to overeating and excessive cortisol:

Each of the following poses can be performed as a continuous sequence or be done in sections on different days of the week (do at least 5 poses for each yoga session).

For best results, try to perform them a minimum of 4 times per week. They will not only help you reduce your stress levels and burn fat over time but also strengthen your core, arms, and legs to boot.
