In today’s world, many individuals are affected by unnecessary weight gain and obesity. There are several factors that lead to obesity and weight gain. One of the major factors is unhealthy eating habits and overconsumption of highly processed, fatty, and sugary foods/beverages. The sedentary lifestyle also acts as a catalyst for weight gain. Another commonly observed trait with such individuals is the higher cortisol levels in their bodies due to poor sleeping patterns, work, personal and other environmental issues. High cortisol levels lead to fat gain especially in the lower belly also known as pot belly.

A common misconception is that yoga is not a high intensity calorie burning exercise. Practicing the right yoga can help with weight management and fat loss. Vinyasa yoga involves sequencing of intense asanas in synchronization with the breath. An hour of Vinyāsa yoga can burn an average of 400-500 calories. Yoga promotes long and subtle breathing pattern which aids in raising your BMR. Yoga can also help control your food cravings. At Yoga Samvidaa, we provide a practical approach to ensure fat loss in a progressive manner and support you with the necessary dietary and lifestyle tips and guidelines.
