Yoga poses for  losing weight

Weight loss through yoga poses is successfully possible when practiced regularly. Spot weight reduction for example weight reduction at a particular spot like hips or thighs is only possible when you lose your overall fat or weight. Listed here are specific asana which will help you to specifically lose weight at your buttocks and thighs. These include butterfly pose, hero pose I and II, sun salute, angle pose, triangle pose, celibacy pose, dog pose – face up and face down, and advanced wind releasing pose.

Advanced wind releasing pose – lie flat on your back on a yoga mat with your legs straight and hands on the sides. Inhale and lift your right leg bending at the knee towards your chest. Hold it there using your hands. Now raise your head and try to touch the chin on the knee. Maintain pressure on the abdomen by the left thigh and knee. This is called right or dakshina pawanmuktasan. Hold in this position for 15 seconds and then relax. Repeat the same pose with left leg. Both these poses are also known as ardha pawanmuktasana. Advanced wind releasing pose or pawanmuktasana is when you use both the legs simultaneously.

Besides regular yoga sessions it is also important to watch what you eat, focus on a well balanced but a low fat diet.
