YOGA

Mindful eating such as dieting, counting calories and limiting portion sizes and along with it regular exercises are the skills that augment the usual approaches to your weight loss.

Why don't you break your routine and try out something different? I would suggest you to try yoga as added ingredient to the list to keep your weight in check.

Here are a few lists of postures in yoga for weight management. These poses are meant not only to keep a check on your weight but calm the mind and align the internal systems of the body.

Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar)
Sun salutations are a great way to get your blood pumping at the beginning of a yoga workout. Sun salutations warm up your body to help increase flexibility and strength.

Chakra Padasana
Chakra Padasana, also known as Leg Rotation pose is an easy asana that you can master with some practice. This asana helps to burn fat from thighs, belly, and hips and around your abdominal region. This asana can be performed with one leg or with both the legs. You will have to make sure to rotate your legs clockwise as well as anticlockwise while performing this asana.

Trikonasana
Trikonasana is also known as Triangle poses. It not only helps build strength but also helps remove tension and gives your body the adequate amount of stretch. You will need a great sense of balance as well as coordination in order to carry out this asana.

Vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga is a vigorous athletic style of practice and is very popular. It helps to increase physical activity and burn calories, while the other forms of yoga might as well help reduce overeating caused by stress or anxiety.

For those of you, just starting an exercise program, practicing yoga might function as a gentle introduction to physical activity. Before considering an alternative weight loss and management therapy such as yoga, first consult a physician or a yoga instructor!
