5 At Home Yoga Routines That Will Help You Lose Weight

Yoga is the last type of “workout” I thought I would do to lose weight. But you know what? When you do a million and one sun salutations you start sweating and this kinda changes your mind.

During the last year, I couldn’t run, I couldn’t lift weights and I couldn’t do 10,000 push ups. I didn’t have time and I also always felt tired just from being a mother of a growing baby.

That’s when I found out yoga is a great way to start moving your body more in a mindful and graceful way. To ease your way into an exercise routine. There’s no jumping around, no lifting 100 pound weights, no 100 sit ups or push ups. But it works!

When you stay consistent and choose the right yoga routines you can start losing weight. That’s what happened for me. Yoga is the most important part of my morning routine, and even if I only have 10 minutes I HAVE to do it.

Here are 3 ways yoga can help you lose weight:

• you become more mindful of how you treat your body and what you eat
• you feel happier, calmer, more alert, and you stress less
• there are types of yoga that can actually help you burn more calories

You can make your own yoga workout plan with the videos I share below, but if you do need more guidance and structure I suggest trying an online program. There are some great yoga programs at Grokker and you can check them all out to see whether they work for you. Make sure to use this link to get a 14-Day trial for free.
