Best Yoga Poses For Weight Loss
You are about to learn modifications for every
pose on this list of yoga poses for weight loss.
If you're just getting started, concentrate on
the changes and move at your own pace. To build
strength, practice on these positions for at
least 15 to 20 minutes three times each week.
The Best Yoga Positions for Losing Weight The
best yoga positions for weight loss are broken
down into the following categories arms,
stomach, thighs, and glutes. There is no such
thing as a spot weight loss program, but
performing these poses alone or in yoga sequences
will assist target that area to build lean
muscle mass, which will lead to general weight
loss and make that area look more
toned. Shoulders Arms Although it may seem
tough, losing stubborn arm fat can be achieved
with the right workouts and muscle-specific
training. The poses that follow put a lot of
emphasis on your shoulders and arms and will
increase your heart rate as you perform
them. 1. Side Plank
2
Due to the fact that you are balancing your body
weight on one side, this pose not only works
your abs but also your arms and shoulders. 2.
Chaturanga
One of the best poses for building upper body
strength is chaturanga. Consider performing a
push-up while keeping your elbows tucked in and
in the "down" position. 3. Crow Pose
Even though crow stance preparation takes some
time to master, it nevertheless helps you
develop arm strength. If it takes you a few weeks
or months to master this stance, don't give up.
To gradually graduate to more difficult poses, it
is important to always prefer perfect alignment
above forcing your body into a pose.

4. The Downward Dog
One of the most popular yoga stances is the
downward-facing dog, but only those who give it a
try can attest to how much it may burn their
biceps and shoulders. This is a pose that
involves both stretching and strengthening all
at once, but for those of you who want to train
your arms specifically, this is a fantastic
place to start. 5. Plank Pose
We include plank posture as one of the opening
poses in both our upper body yoga workout and
our 15-minute weight loss yoga workout because it
is the ideal pose for building upper body and
core strength. 6. Boat Pose
4
This position was my least favorite when I first
started practicing yoga since it required strong
core stability. Every time I performed this
stance, it brought to light how undeveloped my
core was. Spend some time working on this
position because losing weight in your midsection
requires a strong core. 7. Headstand
preparation/headstand
Until you really do the pose, you don't
understand how much of your core you need for the
headstand. The position is excellent for
developing core stability and balance. You can
get the benefits on your core by simply working
up to the stance you don't even need to get into
the entire pose to get them! The most crucial
thing when performing a headstand is to move
slowly and guard your neck. 8. Three-Legged Dog
This is a terrific upward-facing dog variation
that calls for extra stamina and focus. I adore
this pose because it energises your body and
opens up your hips. You nearly (almost) forget
about the scorching sensation that is deep
inside of you.

9. The Locust Pose
One of those postures that don't necessarily look
difficult, but once you're in it, you can feel
it, is the locust pose. This position will help
you prepare for backbends while also toning and
tightening your thighs. 10. Warrior II
Many flow sequences use the great strengthening
stance known as Warrior II. It will increase
your heart rate, widen your hips, and work your
thighs hard. 11. Chair
6
This pose is perfect for you if you enjoy the
sensation of your thighs burning! A word of
caution Your legs will feel shaky when you
first practice this pose and put a lot of effort
into it. Take your time regaining your balance
as you shake out your legs. 12. Eagle Pose
Since I have very tight shoulders, getting into
this pose at first was quite challenging for me.
However, there are a few tweaks that I will list
below. This posture, which demands a lot of
balance, is combined with a chair pose-like squat
position that works your thighs. 13. Bridge.
7
Squats are universally regarded as the best
exercise for building a beautiful butt. You'll
understand why this movement is going to further
sculpt your butt once you start holding this
position for the ensuing few weeks. 14. Warrior
III
Warrior III is the best stance for strengthening
and burning fat like the other warrior positions.
Depending on your level, there are numerous
versions of this pose, but they all have one
thing in common they all do an excellent job of
working your glutes. 15. The Goddess
Goddess is one of those poses that you'll either
love or hate you'll love it because you'll KNOW
it's working, but you'll hate it because you'll
feel it EVERYWHERE in your glutes and legs. 16.
Enhanced Side Angle
8
Legs and glutes are given a lot of attention in
the Extended Side Angle. With your knee bowed
and your torso extending across your side, this
posture challenges you while maintaining the
same feet stance as Warrior II and III. If
