Yoga, For Weight Loss.

Decided to pick up yoga again. No signs of weight loss :gloomy: :skeptical: but at least feel less achy all over.

Weight loss... how about 16 rounds of rapid sun salutation a day, sure to sweat.

Just started recently, so am only managing 6 sets of sun 3x a week ...
Looks like I need to work harder!!

Do you practice everyday and how long are your sessions? Can share please? :please:

How to do sun salutations?

How to do sun salutations?

A bit hard to describe as there are many poses involved. Can go online or youtube to get an idea.

If u are a beginner, best to sign up with a class so that the yoga teacher is able to guide you and correct your postures.

Yes, it is better to go for a yoga class and learn the steps from the experienced person. My friend got back pain and neck pain after doing yoga on her own. I think some of her postures were not correct and she strained her neck and back in a wrong way. An experienced person can guide you as well as he / she can explain the consequences if you do the postures wrongly.


Another thing is that if you have back pain or neck pain (severe), you can not do the postures that require backward bending.

My BMI is okay so I'm just doing for overall wellbeing and also to help my dd to learn Yoga. She attends lesson with me but she is so busy so we can only afford to go once a week.

Sivananda Yoga. She is the only kid there usually but she doesn't mind. In fact she is doing better than me

The have classes everyday so you can go when you can make it and as many time as you want a week. I like the flexibility as dd sometime have a lot of homework/project to do.

It's wonderful doing this together with your dd. :love: Nice bonding session. Feel that yoga is good for overall well-being. Once a week better than nothing. Must motivate each other

I am practising yoga with my 2 ds as well at ohmsantih yoga school. We have alot of fun and often end up laughing or teasing each other. Plus teacher is really cool. She has a way with the adults and also the children to keep all of us motivated.

And I did lose about 4-5kg all in all in about 8 months period. Perhaps its also the change in my lifestyle, less late nights and less snacking
