Burn Fat Easily with these 10 Effective Yoga Asanas!

If you want to lose weight and cut down your extra fat, you need a diet that works for you along with regular bouts of exercise.

But with your busy life, it becomes difficult for you to go out every single day doing sweat-dripping cardio or heavy weight-lifting at a gym.

Research shows that yoga can easily help in losing weight because it can boost flexibility, increase your mental focus, and yes, burn fat.

Doing yoga in the morning leaves its effect for the entire day. With the seemingly stationary poses, you might think that yoga cannot help in burning calories, but you are wrong here! Yoga is not only about relaxing your nerves and relieving yourself from stress.

Performing Yoga asanas that stretch your muscles, can help you in losing your extra weight. That’s right, yoga can torch major calories! It builds muscle, which causes fat to meltdown. Yoga also helps in boosting your metabolism, which is crucial for living an active and healthy life!

There are few Yoga Asanas or Poses given which are best known to burn calories. Follow this entire sequence for three to five days a week, and you will notice any extra padding on your body start turning into sleekly sculpted muscle in no time.

10 Yoga Asanas (Poses) to Burn Fat and Lose Weight

 

1. Down Dog Split, Knee-to Nose-Repetitions

 

Get in a down dog Yoga Pose, then inhale your right leg high, slowly opening the hip. Now, with an exhale, start to round your right knee towards your nose, drawing your navel toward your spine slowly. Then, inhale your leg back to down dog split.

Repeat this 10 times with both legs.

2. Plank with Arm-Leg Lift

 

Again get into your down dog position (Yoga Pose), then roll out into the plank with your shoulders and wrists lined up, slowly, lengthening from the crown of your head through your heels. Extend your right arm forward, lifting your left foot off the ground. Take three deep breaths, then repeat with your left arm and right foot.

Do at least 5 to 10 reps on each side.

3. Dolphin Push-ups

 

Lie down on your mat in a flat position, your chest touching the mat. Now, place your forearms on the ground shoulder-distance apart. Tuck your toes and lift your hips slowly. Now, start to lower your chin towards your thumbs on an inhale, which is almost near a forearm plank but not quite as your feet are too close to your elbows for that. Exhale and lift back to the dolphin, raising your hips back toward the ceiling.

Perform 20 reps of this.

4. Forearm Stand Pose

 

From your dolphin pose, now walk your feet towards your elbows and lift one leg towards the ceiling. Start to rock forward and slowly lift both legs off the ground. It won’t happen in the first go, do this against the wall and when you get in the habit then try without any help. So, coming back to forearm stand, start slowly lifting your legs.

Try to stay in this pose for 5 deep breaths and relax for 5 min when you get back to your normal position.

Now, bend your elbows, placing your hands on either side of your head shoulder-distance apart with fingers pointing towards your shoulders. Applying equal pressure into your feet and hands, lift your hips and lengthen your arms. Keep pressing into your feet and reaching your chest away from your feet. Stay here for 5 deep breaths. Remember to tuck your chin to your chest before you slowly come down. Go slowly to pose and come back slowly from the pose.

This wheel pose is great for toning your thighs and boosting up your metabolism. It targets the fat around your hips and tummy.
