losing weight with yoga is possible with styleoga method

Losing weight with yoga is possible especially if it is mixed with an aimed & combined physical activity, an innovative & proven training method that combines together in a perfect mix yoga, tai chi, & fitness & is called Styleoga®.

Losing weight has become a real fulltime job for most of us, always looking for new light lowfat recipes, correct eating methods, & exercises that can really help us get in shape, but finding these methods is not easy & sometimes we are fooled in false winning systems, methods and diets, that destroy our organism or strain our body to exhaustion, leaving us in a worse situation than before. We can actually help ourselves & obtain excellent results with yoga, to be precise with this innovative method, but lets see what its all about & get to know it better, through a few exercises that we can practice alone at home or with friends or family just 10-15 minutes a day.

Ten, fifteen minutes a day & a correct eating method could help us obtain excellent results in no time, but how is this possible?

The benefits of yoga

Yoga but in particular styleoga®, is based on the following fundamental principles:

correct breathing
muscle stretching
targeted exercises
meditation & relaxation
concentration & cool down

Learning how to breath correctly & deeply only through the nose makes our tissue absorb more oxygen helping them to improve not only in aspect but also in blood flow & pressure. Furthermore breathing deeply reduces anxiety & stress and therefore improves our mood too, a very recent study has also proved that through exhalation we purify our organism by releasing about 70% of the toxins contained.

Muscle stretching on the other hand makes our body more elastic & consequently more flexible & adaptable. Meaning? Our body becomes more flexible, and automatically manages to adapt itself better to external situations with a noteable reduction of ailments caused by strains, bruises, lifting heavy weights, bad posture & so on.

To lose weight or better body fat we must give the right input to our muscles & organism, therefore it is necessary to train in the correct way and most of all know how to do it, infact there are specific exercises aimed to shape up our body & give us a slimmer look such as BURPEES or the PLANK POSITION, with these excellent exercises we can build up a daily sequence.

In Styleoga® training the meditation & relaxation part is very important, to help us focus on our goals & reach them in the least time possible.

These are a few weightloss exercises to practice for 10 minutes per day:

This is obviously an example of a program for who has only 10 minutes to spare but sparing half an hour a day & increasing the exercises would lead to even better more incredible results.

After breathing correctly for a few seconds & having warmed up a bit, we begin with the TRIANGLE, this position in Styleoga® training is used to warm up & stretch our muscles, start with this position for about 20 seconds on each side increasing slowly untill we arrive to manage to hold this position for about 40 seconds.

Start with legs spread, (as fig above) turn right foot pointing front, take a deep breathe & bend towards right foot, keeping both legs tense & not bending knees, stay in this position for about 20 seconds, & with a deep breathe rise slowly back up till you get back into the initial position & repeat on the other side.

Lets continue with the PLANK POSITION

Una posizione non facile ma che se fatta con costanza scolpisce addominali, glutei e gambe, per partire si può stare in posizione per circa 10 secondi e finire magari una settimana di allenamento a circa 3o secondi, bisogna fare attenzione a non esagerare e a tenere la schiena in posizione corretta.

Lie on the ground facing down as if on all fours (see fig above) with knees not touching the ground, lift yourself up concentrating the weight on forearms, keeping abdominals well stretched, breathe deeply & to get out of the position touch the ground with your knees, try this position daily increasing slowly the seconds, in the beginning its going to be quite hard but slowly you will do it in no time.

Lets move over to the SQUATS

Squats are not very tiresome exercises & are ideal to shape up our buttocks, hips & legs reducing that annoying fat that sits on the famous coulotte de cheval.

Be careful and make sure not to arch your back (see fig above), start of with 20 squats per day & after a week you can increase to 40, starting off standing, arms stretched in front at shoulder height, & bend slowly, stay in this position for a few seconds, & slowly rise, continue in this way.

We’ll end with a TWIST exercise

Lie down on the ground facing up this time, arms strectched open wide, lift legs up and put one bent on the ground, chosing a side, for example legs to the right, turn your head to the left, (see fig below) you will feel all your body tense but in particular your legs & chest, stay in this position for about 20 seconds, than lift legs back up & place straight on the ground, repeat on the other side.
