There is a
misconception that yoga poses are not effective in losing weight. Yes, yes they
can be very effective in keeping your body at a healthy weight while still
allowing you adequate exercise. However, it requires time and practice, as well
as dedication. When you're doing the right poses, the best results come from
those who have studied them properly and know how to use them correctly. It's
only then after proper guidance and study, that what you see in yourself, looks
like an actual physical transformation in your body. But, before we get into
how to lose weight by using yoga poses, let's take a look at two popular yogic
exercises, and see whether or not they actually make you look that much
healthier!
Vrikshakasana is
one of the most common postures found in various schools of Hinduism. While
Vrikshakasana is considered to be an old Yogic form of martial art, some people
now claim its beneficial effects are even more profound. Studies reveal that
when you do vrikshakasana, your breathing deepens, and your heart pumps faster,
which ultimately leads to greater oxygen uptake in the blood, which means that
by increasing the rate of this process, you effectively increase blood flow to
the muscles in your body, leading to quicker recovery from any injuries and
sprains. The deeper your breath while doing vrikshakasana, the more oxygen will
reach your cells, aiding in their healing. Your immune system also improves, as
well as your digestion and lymphatic system.
2. Shubh Mudra +Chaturdarpanidhi
The next most
popular pose you can find in yoga is Shubh Mudra, which literally means
"aspiration." This posture takes place when facing downwards, with
your back arched and your shoulder flexed. Once again, the major goal is to
ensure both your lower body as well as your upper body remain as upright as
possible. Doing so means you strengthen the core, and allow yourself to
maintain a balanced balance. It works the whole body, including your face. A
great way to achieve this is through your meditation practice. Just sit on a
chair at ground level, without bending your knees towards each other, your arms
and legs should be straight, but your mind should look upwards. Hold your gaze
a few seconds, and as you breathe slowly, hold your feet as close to the ground
as you can. Feel the sensation of air as it travels down your spine. As your
head gets closer to the floor, feel the pressure of your shoulders as it pulls
upward against your ribcage, bringing your neck towards your ears. Keep your
chin up, and exhale all the breath out of your lungs as fast as it can go
before your eyes. Let go of your breath, and allow your upper body to return to
a normal position. Repeat these three steps until you can't stand to look up
any further. Do not stop meditating before this point, because as soon as you
try to bring more awareness into your meditation, you'll fall back immediately
to earth. If you want to keep practicing, do so by sitting straight on the
floor straight, with your spine held high, and the upper body lifted out in
front of you, if desired. Now that it's over for the day, don't turn around to
start the morning, but take a walk around the house to stretch your arms and
legs. Then set them straight once more, and watch the rest of the world go by
below you. Remember to return to your mat. On the second day, do the same thing
if your back has been aching a lot, or if your arm has been sore throughout the
day.
3. Bandha
Matsyendrasana
The third key pose
in the Indian philosophy of life; Bandha Matsyendrasana, is similar to another
main plank in Kriya Vinyasa Yoga, Buddha Pranayama. But unlike Bhaddha
Pranayam, bandha matsyendrasana uses different aspects of pranayama. Instead of
holding your breath to control your mind, Bandha Matsyendrasana instead focuses
on controlling your breathing. Practicing this particular move gives you a
sense of being grounded, and allows you to focus on the movement, as well as
your breathing, as opposed to just on the poses themselves. Just remember to
find someone to motivate you. Whether it's a friend, family member, teacher, or
guru, the most important advice a person can receive would be from someone
else. So take a moment to listen to what they're saying before making
judgments, and follow through with the instructions.
4. Bhangas

The fourth and
final pose in the series is Bhangas, which literally means "breathe
together". This is one of the easiest poses to do, and yet one of the
hardest. You will need the entire range of emotions to stay in this state, and
that can prove extremely difficult. Often, people think they have all the
answers to any problem, just that a slight change of mindset can help them
realize they're not truly happy with whatever they are that they are.
Therefore, it makes perfect sense that a powerful kind of relaxation, a simple
act of self-control, may be required. Be it a small movement or a subtle smile
while holding your breath. Whatever it is, as long as you're in this state, you
have the chance to refocus upon your thoughts, and maybe a little bit upon yourself.
Try this out and see what happens. Do your hands begin shaking? Do your palms
sweat? Maybe your spine does a shake too? Perhaps it feels like you're getting
into a bit of a slouch.
