Traditional workouts will help you burn calories faster and your practice will help your body to improve flexibility and increase mindfulness.





Getting Started





First things, you need to get started with the practice. But how?





If you have no clue, then hitting the mat in a trial Hatha yoga class will be great. To start out you will need to learn some basic asanas which you will be able to practice at the comfort of your home every day. Great for beginners, it is a slow moving class where each posture is held for a few breaths.

If you are looking for something more challenging, you can opt for ashtanga yoga where the flow of your body movement and breath will be used to produce internal heat.





The Practice





Consistency is the key. The idea is to get some amount of practice every day. This way your body will get used to the movements and gain flexibility. You can start by practicing a few minutes of daily. Once you make a habit you can increase your duration.

Unlike in the gym, while training with weights you build more muscles if you lift heavier, which is not the case here, you need consistency and discipline to see results.






Positive attitude for weight loss





On your weight loss journey, you are not only able to lose weight, get healthier, but also be able to understand and listen to your body.
