Yoga is the last form of “workout” people think for weight-loss. Yoga may be intended as a way to calm the mind, but it also is a great way to get in shape and drop some weight. The postures can also help lower your anxiety
Do you know? When you are performing one sun salutation, you start sweating and this helps to change your mind. Yoga is a great way to get your body moving in a more thoughtful and gracious way to ease your way into a workout routine. There is no jumping around, no 100-pound weight lifting, no 100 sit-ups or pushups. But it does work! You can start losing weight if you stay consistent and choose the right yoga routines.
Listed down are 5 yoga postures that will help you to reduce your weight:
1. Warrior II (Virabhadrasana B) –

You too can tone the muscles in your thighs and shoulders with Warrior II like a mighty warrior. Consider bending your front knee to get the most out of the pose and your hip is parallel to the floor. The more you are able to hold the pose, the rigid the quads get. The trick is to soothe the mind and just breathe. Note: You are a hero! Then switch sides, mighty fighter.
2. Triangle (Trikonasana)

Like some other postures, Trikonasana may not shake your muscles, but you must do it often and your abs will be thankful for it! Trikonasana’s twisting motion helps improve digestion and decrease fat deposits in the stomach. On top of that, you can build more muscle and burn more fat by engaging the legs and arms muscles.
3. Downward Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)

Looking for a way of toning the entire body? Try Adho Mukha Svanasana. This asana moves from a relaxed posture to a radical way of improving your arms, back, and thighs with a little extra attention to certain muscles. Focus on your thigh muscles when you twist them inward and do the same with your upper arms to get the most muscle toning results. Keep pushing your hands and heels downwards. Hold on — and do not miss breathing!
4. Shoulder Stand (Sarvangasana)

Including optimizing metabolism to treatment for the thyroid and even increasing strength, Sarvangasana does it all. The inversion works to regulate thyroid levels and improves metabolism and the respiratory system, builds up the upper body, legs, and abs, and helps you to sleep better. Include that in your daily practice and you will look like a whole new different person.
5. Twisted Chair (Parivrtta Utkatasana)

Call it a squat’s yoga version — but made a bit more powerful. Parivritta Utkatasana focuses on quads, glutes, and abs. And those are the muscles. The twisting helps the lymph system and the digestive system too. Combine all of these in one motion and you have a perfect way of losing weight.
These are just a few of the yoga positions that can help with weight loss. However, as you all probably already know, the only way to achieve your perfect, healthy weight is still by proper diet and a healthy lifestyle in which yoga can be just one element.
