Yoga is one of the most ancient and effective ways to lose body fat and lead a healthy lifestyle. It is a combination of various asanas which involve stretching and meditation. It focuses on curing all problems from within our body and strengthens one from inside. While practising yoga is beneficial and gives great results, but as there are no shortcuts to success there are none to yoga. For yoga, one needs to be patient as it gives results gradually. Generally, there is a lack of patience among people and they want quick results and for that, they even resort to surgeries and various weight reducing pills that harm them in long run. Yoga is just the opposite, it gives you gradual long term results and increases your fitness, immunity and life.

While there are many yoga asanas but here we will discuss some basic asanas for beginners which are easy, effective and result-oriented. Before discussing the starters I shall rob you of your misconception that it is for the old, and those who ain’t willing to go to the gym. Completely wrong, while gym builds muscles yoga builds flexibility, as weights are important, so is yoga.

I shall name the yoga asanas that we will discuss here today at a glance then will look at them one by one.

  • Surya namaskar (sun salutation)
  • Dhanurasana (bow pose)
  • Bhujaganasana (cobra pose)
  • Kapalbhati pranayama
  • Tadasana (mountain pose)
  • Uttanasana
  • Trikonasana
  • Badhaa konasana (bound angle pose)
  • Eagle twist asana
  • Shrishasana (head pose)

Well before taking the asanas one by one, I wanna make it clear that the best time for yoga is only early morning. So I would suggest you make it a habit to do yoga early in the morning.
