The view that yoga is just another type of exercise is wrong. It allows you to lose exactly "burning" calories. There are special, healing mechanisms of yoga that allow not only physically to develop the body, but also to heal various ailments, such as cardiovascular diseases, back pain, diabetes, cancer, migraine and, of course, excess weight. It turns out that knowing your body, and attention to it, can play an important role in getting rid of excess kilograms. All individually, such impacts would not be significant, but in combination they give excellent results.
Secrets of losing weight
What is the mystery of yoga, which allows you to lose weight? This is due to a decrease in voltage. It turns out that tension is the primary problem with weight loss. Most often a person knows what he needs to do to lose weight. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that with a fast rhythm of life, he feels too busy and exhausted to take full care of himself. Sometimes a 20-minute yoga lesson is enough to significantly lose weight. After a person learns the art of concentrating and will find compassion for himself, to his body, it will be much easier for him. And this is in addition to the development of strength and flexibility, although such effects can also be considered additional benefits.
Eat carefully
Valentina Makarova is a practicing yoga coach for several years. Students call it the queen of relaxation. She herself began practicing yoga at the age of 39 years. "At that time I weighed more than 110 kg and felt constantly tired, but when I started to work, I started to lose weight, I liked yoga so much that I opened my own studio." Valentina's studio helped many to reduce weight with the help of very affordable means. "Yoga allows you to achieve balance, and balance is an important component of success," says Valentine, "when you have found balance and begin to observe, you will become much calmer and will not allow yourself to eat food without stops." You will enjoy every bite of food. " Valentine shared that before, before doing yoga, she could not indifferently walk past pastries or pizza. But when yoga helped her to listen to her own body, it became clear that already on the second piece of pizza Valentine felt drowsy and sluggish.
Be on your toes
Mindfulness begins through meditation, but yoga goes even further. Performing yoga exercises through asanas (special poses) helps people who have problems of excess weight due to the fact that they do not listen enough to their body. For example, during classes you will learn to do things that you initially thought difficult. This also concerns overcoming oneself. And then you will be able to apply these skills in practice, for example, the next time you pass a stall with ice cream before buying it, you will reflect - do you really want it? A well-known pose in yoga is the pose of the Triangle. In it you reach balance, relax. In this position, the tension in the entire body is first created. This is done consciously, so that you feel how tense in life, and you can overcome this tension without the help of sweets or other food, but quite different methods. Practicing yoga, you will get rid of tension in any life situations. For Natalia Samsonova, this knowledge was decisive before you go on a diet. "With the beginning of a new diet, I always had a bad time, and all because I, even despite some limitations, continued to seek consolation in food." Yoga helped to get rid of this dependence. "
Switch to another wave
One of the famous Indian yogis Swami Vivekananda said that the only remedy for bad habits is anti-habits. In other words, if you buried yourself in a rut, then to get out, you need to make a new road. This statement is confirmed by modern scientists. Neurologists have found that the brain is constantly changing and forming new connections. This process is called neuroimaging. Neurons that move together change their direction together. If you are addicted to food, then to change the direction of movement you need to create new habits. That is, in the literal sense, this process can be called "change your mind." Such a useful habit can become yoga for you. And with it, the results of weight loss will simply exceed all expectations.
