Yoga for Weight-Loss: A Sequence for Beginners

This post is a part of Back to Basics Week, a week where we share fabulous how-to and beginner’s content—like this yoga for weight-loss video—to get you and your fitness kicked off and up for fall!

Yoga can be intimidating for newbies. There are about a million kinds to choose from, you have to twist your body in weird ways and it’s just a touch (okay, a lot sometimes) hippity-dippity. That’s why we’re thrilled to share the below yoga sequence for beginners with you! Created just for us (awww, we feel so special!) by David Magone, founder of PranaVayu Yoga, this yoga for weight-loss workout has been designed specifically in a very easy-to-follow and understand way for all the yoga newbies out there.

This standing pose sequence will help you get your heart rate up, tone your thighs and build your upper-body strength in just under 30 minutes. For optimal effect, David recommends, following a sensible diet and doing the below yoga for weight-loss sequence every other day for three weeks. Now…who’s ready to get their yoga on? We are!

Any of you guys reluctant to try yoga? Will you try it now? Do it! (We consider this the healthiest form of peer pressure.) And a big thanks to David for the yoga-for-weight-loss moves! —Jenn
