Yoga Power Poses

When you think about weight loss, chances are yoga

isn’t the first thing that comes to mind.

After all, it certainly doesn’t feel like you’re

doing the same high-intensity training as you would

with a cardio or weight-lifting workout, right?

But the truth is, yoga can play an integral part in

your ability to shed fat a number of different ways,

including:

Boosting Metabolism
Which in turn will help you burn more calories.

Strengthen Your Core

Yoga will not only help you to strengthen your core

but will help improve your posture. Both of these

things will help you complete workout routines properly.

Helps You Maintain a Healthy Diet

Since yoga is effective at helping you manage stress-eating,

you’ll be able to stay on track with your diet.


And much more.

Here’s a powerful pose to help you get started:

Upward Plank Pose

Step 1: Begin by sitting with your hands placed a few

inches behind your hips with your fingers pointing forward.

Step 2: Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the

floor, big toes turned inward and heels placed at least

a foot away from your buttocks.

Step 3: Begin with a deep exhale, then press your inner

feet and hands down against the floor. 

Step 4: Lift your hips until you come into a reverse

tabletop position, with your thighs and torso parallel

to the floor. 

In tomorrow’s email, we’ll take a quick look at 2 other

poses that you should work towards incorporating into

your daily routine in order to boost energy and peace of

mind.
