Yoga Poses to Help You Manage Your Weight

The holiday season leads to overeating and indulging in fatty foods that are unhealthy for us. However, it can be difficult to completely disregard and avoid these foods. This is why losing weight should be your goal this holiday season.

Weight management entails following diet and exercise advice in order to maintain one's current weight rather than lose it. During the festivities, this is far more realistic. Yoga is one of the most effective workout regimens for both weight loss and weight management. Including these yoga poses in your routine will assist you in maintaining your weight this holiday season.

This holiday season, try these yoga poses to help you manage your weight:

 1. Sarvangasana Sethu Bandha

•  Lie on the ground with your hands on your sides, facing the ceiling.

• Lift your hips slowly off the ground.

• Your upper torso, head, arms, and feet should be the only things touching the floor at this point.

• Hold for 10 seconds and then repeat 4-5 times.

 2. Adho Mukha Svanasana

• While lying flat on the ground, face the floor.

• Slowly raise your torso, creating the shape of a mountain with your body.

•  Your palms should be wider apart and reaching outwards (in comparison to your shoulders)

• Your feet, on the other hand, should be placed next to each other. At this point, the only body parts that should be touching the ground are your palms and feet.

• Your face should be turned inwards and downwards, at the same angle as your arms.

• Your body should be shaped like a triangle (your hands, hips, and feet being the corners)

• Hold for a few seconds before repeating at least ten times.

3. Bhujangasana

•  Lie on your stomach with your face to the ground.

• Raise your torso slowly by placing your hands on your sides.

•  The only parts of your body that should be touching the ground at this point are your palms and lower body.

• Hold for 30 seconds before releasing.

• Repeat 3-4 times per day.

4. Sarvangasana

•  You must hold your legs above your head in this pose.

• Traditionally, you lay on your back and lift your legs at a 90-degree angle above the ground.

•  You can also use your arms to push your legs up higher.

• At this point, the only parts of your body that are in contact with the ground are your head, arms (from shoulder to elbow), and upper back.

• Your toes should be pointing upwards.

• However, it takes time and practice to be able to perform this asana comfortably. As a result, you can try resting your legs at a 90-degree angle against a wall.

• To improve your performance as a beginner, place 1-2 pillows under your lower back to elevate the body and provide exterior support.

These yoga poses will ensure that your metabolism is working properly and that you are not gaining unnecessary weight. However, you must understand the importance of a proper diet.
