5 Yoga Poses That Burn Major calories
Our hectic lif style and busy schedule often leaves us stressed out and tired. Yoga is a centuries old way of relieving stress and improving strength and flexibility so that we can have a healthy body and mind in the long run. It helps in harmonizing our inner being with the world and bringing forth peace and tranquility. At physical level, it helps in improving posture, toning and strengthening the muscles, relieving stress and reducing the risk of diseases. Yoga also helps in improving the health of would-be mothers and reduces pregnancy complications. It also helps in quickening the recovery after delivery, relieving post-partum complications and pain and promoting weight loss in a healthy way.
Many write off yoga as an "easy" workout. After all, chanting and stretching might put you into a meditative mindset, but it's not exactly going to melt fat away—or is it? The truth may surprise you.
Yoga is equal parts strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance. It´s estimates that yoga can torch anywhere from 180 to 600 calories per hour, noting that there's a large range because there are so many different types.
While you'll generally burn more calories in a Bikram or power yoga class than you would in a restorative one, the specific yoga poses that you (or your instructor) select matter a lot, too. Looking to torch fat? Make sure these poses are a regular part of your practice.
