Yoga and Weight Loss:
A Natural Combination!
Yoga and weight loss go together so naturally that yoga is rapidly becoming one of the premier fitness activities of the twenty-first century!
Losing weight with yoga is about more than just burning calories. On average, a 150 pound person would only burn about 150 calories in an hour long yoga class. Once you develop basic skills and advance to power yoga, the results are significantly more impressive!
Yoga can be the "gift that keeps on giving!" Because it addresses stress and anxiety reduction so effectively, it naturally curbs emotional overeating!
Studies even show that yoga lowers levels of stress hormones and increases insulin sensitivity. This provides a signal to your body to burn food as fuel rather than store it as fat!
Special breathing techniques increase the oxygen intake to the body's cells. This results in the increased burning of fat cells.
