Can practicing yoga help you lose weight?

My friend is a little fat. Can she lose weight by practicing yoga? Her biggest wish now is to lose weight. However, she has tried many methods but the effects are not obvious. She even tried medication to lose weight a while ago. We all said that medication is effective quickly, but there will be a rebound as soon as you stop taking it. Some medications even have side effects and are not good for the body. Later, a friend suggested that she practice yoga. It is heard that yoga can help lose weight. We have never practiced it and didn’t quite understand it, so we went to the yoga studio for consultation. Let me tell you what the coach said right away.

Of course, practicing yoga can help you lose weight, but the effects are most immediate on the waist and abdomen. At the same time, it is very beneficial for strengthening the body. Modern people spend most of their working time sitting. Doing yoga before going to bed at night can not only speed up blood circulation, but also promote sleep. However, you need to persist. Practicing for one or two days will not have any effect.

Yoga asanas can also massage internal organs, regulate endocrine system and promote fat consumption through limb movements. In addition, yoga is also an advanced aerobic exercise. The practice process will consume excess calories. Through continuous practice, the body's muscle lines will become more beautiful. Therefore, the effect of yoga practice on weight loss can be said to be the most stable and healthiest.

In addition, hot yoga effectively improves spinal flexibility and is especially suitable for office workers. It consists of some static movements of twisting, bending and stretching with rest time between movements to stimulate the relaxed glandular and muscle systems. At the same time, the deep breathing exercises of hot yoga can increase the oxygen absorption of cells in the body. For those who practice yoga with the goal of losing weight, hot yoga can help to fully consume body fat. For those who are underweight, you can add weight. What is added is healthy, firm body tissue, not fat.

In other words, hot yoga can create an ideal physical state. In addition to its weight loss effect, hot yoga has therapeutic effects on insomnia, migraine, back pain, cervical spondylosis, gastrointestinal diseases, etc. At the same time, yoga practitioners can reduce facial wrinkles, make people feel younger and longer-lived, increase disease resistance, improve vision and hearing, lose weight, and have mental and emotional health and sharper intuition.

The above content is my understanding of whether practicing yoga can help lose weight. After listening to the fitness coach’s talk, we have a better understanding of yoga. The coach also said that the weight loss effect of yoga will not be as fast as taking medicine, but it must be effective. As long as you keep practicing for a period of time, you will slowly find the effect.
