The following are questions that Yoga teachers still need to answer, in spite of overwhelming evidence that Yoga is “the mother of health maintenance systems.” Mainstream thought is ultimately making up ground, with the development Yoga is making, however it has used 5,000 years for all of us to get this far.
Seriously, how do Yoga Allow you to Lose Weight?
Finally, many of the “Yoga and Weight Loss” research has come in, and even, some Yoga is much better, than none, for weight control, but there are a number of explanations why. Yoga will change your lifestyle that includes a secure diet exercise, adjusting posture, breathing, and a lot more. Most of the Yoga practitioners, I know, consume more water, eat more reasonably, and take more proper care of their health, in comparison to the many who really don’t want to leave from the couch.
Aren’t you required to jump up and down for around half an hour per day to exercise enough to lose weight naturally?
Perhaps the public have been “brain washed” into thinking that you have to feel the actual pain, suffer, starve, and have a near death encounter, to lose weight. Depending upon your capacity, the average person, in a moderate Hatha yoga training, is burning in the neighborhood of 200 calories per hour. There are Vinyasa Yoga courses that will burn more calories, having much more flowing and lively movement. Keep in mind that your safety is priority, and you will be fine.
There are also Yoga classes where you can really feel the pain, heat, and suffer. This is ideal for those who feel the need to “pay for their sins.” Maybe that is regarded as “penance,” for year’s consumption of too much pizza, hamburgers, and buffets. If you feel you must suffer, you may even find a Yoga teacher who skipped his or her calling as an interrogator.
If you search hard enough, you’ll find a Yoga class for every niche. More moderate Yoga classes look effortless on the outside of the class, but I’ve seen many people find them to be a difficult task, from within the class. The actual advantage of constant Yoga practice is training for durability. Long-term practice will deliver optimum health benefits in mind, body, and spirit.
Couldn’t you simply invent a Yoga pill?
This has been the ultimate dream of “couch potatoes,” yet every time a weight loss pill arrives, there’s a down side. Just look on the health issues that resulted from fen phen and ephedra. This should wake people up, but someone will always take their life in danger, no matter how many warning trademarks are printed.
To sum up, the benefits of Yoga practice have always been around, through steady and secure practice. Look for a safe teacher and start from there. Never push yourself to the point of strain. Moderation is essential so it’s wise to avoid extremes.
