yoga mat tucked under your arm, with your gym bag slung over your shoulder
as you casually quip "I'm off to my yoga class." But is yoga your best bet
for weight loss?
Well to answer that we need to find look at what it takes to lose weight.
To lose weight you need to raise your heart rate to about 65% of it
maximum heart rate threshold (To find out how to figure your maximum heart
rate threshold read my blog, What is Your Fat Burning Heart Rate?)
So the answer is yes you can lose weight by doing yoga if it elevates your
heart rate sufficiently. Which brings us to the next question, which yoga
raised the heart rate enough to bring about weight loss?
If you have ever Gooogled yoga you have found out that there are several
types of yoga with a seemingly endless number of yoga classes available in
. But the question remains, which types are best for weight loss.
The Top 3 Types of Yoga for Weight Loss
Of all the different types of yoga these three are the best for weight loss.
Ashtanga Yoga is a very intense and vigorous yoga. It is very physically
demanding because it is comprised of a series of poses performed in a
particular order in a particular rhythm. Since you are moving constantly
from one pose to the next your heart rate remains in its target range for
fat burning. So Ashtanga yoga is a good type of yoga for those wanting to
lose weight.
Power Yoga is a more intense, fitness focused version of vinyasa-style
yoga that is breath based movement. Power yoga is very much like Ashtanga
yoga except it doesn't follow a set series of poses. Power yoga poses are
performed in various order thus allowing classes to be different from
class to class. Power yoga appeals to people who are practicing yoga from
more of a fitness than a spiritual point of view.
95 - 100 degree room is what is needed for Birkram vinyasa-style yoga. Hot
Yoga is also know as Birkram Yoga. Birkram Yoga is a type of Hot yoga that
is similar to Ashtanga yoga and consists of a series of 26 poses. Hot yoga
is very intense and physically demanding. greater flexibility and deep
stretching are at the root of yoga.
Only you can determine what your wellness goals are. Generally yoga
encompasses the body, mind and spirit. Therefore most styles of yoga are
aimed at strengthening all three aspects of the person or specific aspects
of the person breath and movement but not rigorous activity.
