As bedtime approaches, do you find it difficult to let go of the worries of the day? Are you too keyed up to relax and sleep? Do you spend hours tossing and turning before finally falling asleep? If you answer ‘yes’ to any or all of the above questions, then its high time you try out a new sleep routine.
The Surya Namaskar is an excellent set of yoga poses with a number of mental and physical benefits and weight loss is definitely one of them. However if you want to lose weight through your yoga practice, you will need to include several other asanas or yoga poses as well. Speak to your yoga teacher about your goals and always consult with your doctor before beginning any new exercise routine.
Following are some yoga poses that are especially effective for weight loss:
- Extended Side Angle Pose
- High Lunge
- Warrior Pose I
- Warrior Pose II
- Reverse Warrior Pose
- Half Moon Pose
- Bound Half Moon Pose
- Boat Pose
- Plank Pose
- Side Plank Pose
- Crow Pose
- Half Crow Pose
Follow a yoga routine that combines the above poses with pranayama or deep breathing exercises along with a healthy balanced diet and you should see results soon. There are also different types of yoga that can help burn more calories than others. For example, Ashtanga yoga, Power yoga or Bikram yoga are more intense forms of yoga and offer cardiovascular exercise along with toning and improved flexibility.
