- Massage organs – Contraction and relaxation of muscles from yoga poses allows better blood flow. This not only boosts organ health but also gives your skin a radiant glow. A well-functioning nervous system and a digestive system is key for longevity.
- Promotes sweating – Sweating helps eliminate heavy metals like lead and mercury from the body. Although it may be a little strenuous at first to perform the asanas, however the idea of yoga is to relax and be comfortable even in poses that bring discomfort. Hence every yoga pose requires you to breathe when it’s the most strenuous because we often hold our breath when exerting a lot.

Weight Loss Regiment
If you wish to lose 5 kgs in a month then adhere to the following yoga routine. With discipline and structure, you will have toned, leaner and a flexible body.
Note: Losing 5 kg in 30 days with only yoga is possible for some people, but not healthy or sustainable for everyone. Results depend on starting weight, diet, sleep, stress, and consistency.
That said—yoga + the right routine + food discipline can trigger fast fat loss.
1] Do Fat-Burning Yoga Styles (Not Just Stretching)
Focus on dynamic, heat-building yoga:
- Surya Namaskar (MOST important)
- Vinyasa Flow
- Power Yoga
- Ashtanga basics
Time: 60–90 minutes/day Frequency: 6 days/week
Surya Namaskar Target
- Beginners: 20–30 rounds
- Intermediate: 40–60 rounds
- Advanced: 70–100 rounds
2] Key Yoga Poses for Weight Loss
Include these daily:
- Chair Pose (Utkatasana) – thighs & belly
- Plank & Side Plank – core fat
- Boat Pose (Navasana) – stubborn belly fat
- Warrior II – full-body toning
- Bow Pose (Dhanurasana) – digestion & fat burn
- Twists (Ardha Matsyendrasana) – detox & waist
Hold each pose 30–60 seconds, repeat 2–3 times.
3] Pranayama That Accelerates Fat Loss
Do this empty stomach, daily:

- Bhastrika – boosts metabolism
- Anulom Vilom – balances hormones & stress
⏱ Total time: 15–20 minutes

Yoga alone won’t cut it without food discipline.
DO THIS:

AVOID COMPLETELY for 30 days:

Yoga works because it controls stress hormones.
What Results to Expect (Honest)
- 2–3 kg fat loss → realistic
- 1–2 kg water weight → common
