You can absolutely lose weight with yoga and there are enormous advantages to using yoga for weight loss over other artificial means and methods. In this 3 part series I am going to first discuss why yoga is good for permanent and safe weight loss and here I am going to give you a great reason why to choose Yoga exercises for burning fat and losing weight.
This list of reasons is really quite long, but let me just point out the top five reasons why you are better off using yoga to help reduce weight, as opposed to being suckered in by all the other quick weight loss gimmicks, pills, gadgets and diets out there.
Top 5 Reasons to Choose Yoga for Weight Loss:
1. Better Overall Health:
Losing weight by doing yoga, also conditions all the internal organs and systems, in addition to getting rid of the excess fat. This means that not only will you lose the weight, but as you continue your practice, you will find yourself getting more and more healthy and fit. In addition, you will enjoy all the profound benefits that yoga bestows, and not just the weight loss aspect.
2. No Bad Side Affects:
Always remember that the body has a blue print of perfect health and always tries to return to this state. You should always try to work with the body, in it’s efforts to return to perfect health. Yoga and Ayurveda (the Indian holistic science of life and longevity) are designed to do just this. On the other hand, when you use chemical, surgical or other such quick fixes, you tend to not work holistically with the body, and even as you are fixing one problem, you tend to create many more. So using Yoga for weight loss is the best way to intelligently and naturally lose the weight and help the body return to optimum health.
3. Permanent Weight Loss with Yoga:
Experience of the yoga therapy programs to treat obesity have shown that weight lost from yoga therapy has proven to be permanent. This is certainly not the case when you use chemicals and other gimmicks. The weight lost by those methods tends to return in a hurry once they are discontinued. This is not the case with yoga, as long as you maintain at minimum, a healthy diet as prescribed by Ayurveda.
These diets are almost always a part of the treatment in general, and these diets are such that they can be maintained comfortably throughout one’s life. They are not extreme or unreasonable diets. You can read more about such a diet in the the following article:
4. Yoga Weight Loss Solution is for Free:
Why pay for a solution, that is going to create bad side affects and not going to work in the long term anyway, when you can have a successful weight loss solution from yoga for FREE. You can no longer make the excuse that yoga classes are expensive, etc, etc, because on any website, they are all free. If you see the online classes page, you will see the thousands of readers who have taken and benefited from these classes. So I don’t see how you can go wrong here. Not only do you succeed in your weight loss goals, but you get all the additional benefits of yoga, and you get it all for free
5. Extreme Exercise is Not Necessary:
You will see from the upcoming yoga set in part 2 of this series that even gentle yoga exercises done with moderate effort are good enough to put you on track to meet your weight loss goals. So you don’t need to undertake an extreme fitness regiment. Such regiments are generally short lived anyway and can be injurious to the body. Yes, when doing yoga in this sensible way the weight loss is not going be happen overnight, but you can expect to consistently lose about 5 pounds a month safely and naturally, without doing any harm to your body or mind.
So stay tuned for part 2 of this series where I will be detailing for you one of the best yoga sets for losing weight safely and permanently.
