Which type of yoga is best for weight loss?
Naturally, a faster, more intense style of yoga is going to give you better weight loss results than a slow, relaxing practice. Scientifically, yoga puts you on the road to weight loss just by decreasing your stress and promoting mindful eating, but if you really want to see good results, you need to activate your muscles and get your heart rate up.
One of the absolute best, and most popular types of yoga in this region for its ability to shape and sculpt your body while having a fun, flowing class, is vinyasa yoga. Vinyasa yoga simply is a type of yoga that involves a set of postures that create a “flow”. Typically, it start with a gentle warm up, goes through a through cycles of poses called “vinyasas”, then winds back down with relaxing poses.
Vinyasa yoga tends to be different every time, and allows you to really get creative with your routines. They can incorporate so many combinations of poses and movements, it honestly becomes fun not knowing what’s next!
