The Best 3 Yoga Exercises for Weight Loss

The following are three of my favorite yoga exercises for weight loss. These movements should be easy for almost anyone; but just to be safe, confer with your doctor before starting any new practice or fitness routine.

Yoga Single Leg Rotations

Instructions

• Lie flat on your back.
• Raise your right leg up to about 45 degrees.
• Point your feet and toes away from you.
• Do 2-10 rotations in 1 direction and then without resting rotate the same leg in the other direction (counter-clockwise).
• Repeat with the left leg.

Duration

You can build up to 1 minute per leg. You can start with 2-4 rotations per leg, per direction and build up from there.

Benefits

• Builds your abdominal core muscles and strengthens and tones your waist.
• Builds willpower and strength of character.
• Loosens and opens up the pelvic region.
