Losing weight isn’t only a matter of calories in and calories out – it’s a question of balance.
People are sitting more and moving less in this ever faster pace of life which results in stress, tiredness and unwanted fat accumulation these days.
Yoga provides a sustainable, natural and holistic path to weight loss—not simply by burning calories but by changing how your body and mind function.
From the comfort of your home, our online yoga classes at Shiha Yoga with Yogacharya Vivek will guide you to lose those extra kilos, build an iron body, and cultivate mindfulness.
Why Choose Yoga for Weight Loss?
Unlike the high-impact exercise routines, yoga is mild and has profound results. It is centered on:
- Enhancing metabolism with poses that activate internal organs
- Increasing muscle to speed up calorie burning
- Alleviating stress, which can cause people to eat more
- Balancing hormones that control hunger and fat storage
- Improving flexibility and range of motion for overall health and well-being
Yoga operates on three levels — body, breath, and mind — making it a long-term and comprehensive answer to weight control.
