The causes of weight gain are diverse, ranging from a sedentary lifestyle, dietary choices, gut microbiome imbalances, hormonal fluctuations, poor eating habits, genetic factors, to stress-induced factors. Weight gain can lead to a myriad of health issues, including chronic diseases like diabetes, heart problems, depression, stress, weak back, hormonal disorders, and even impotency and infertility.

Yoga, when practiced under supervision, emerges as a safe and effective approach to weight loss. Holding yoga postures fosters a focus on breath work, enhances flexibility incrementally, and progressively boosts core endurance. This multifaceted approach helps in stress management, charges hormones, calms the nervous system, and facilitates weight loss as a natural outcome rather than a forced agenda.

Noukasana (Boat Pose):

Inspired by the symbolism of a boat as a vehicle transporting from one end to the other, the boat pose stretches muscles from the chest to abdomen, releasing tension and opening blocks for improved metabolism. This asana not only strengthens abdominal muscles but also benefits arms, thighs, shoulders, liver, pancreas, and kidneys while regulating blood sugar levels.

Precautions: Avoid if you have low blood pressure, migraine, or during your menstrual cycle.

Dhanurasana (Bow Pose):

This asana aids in regulating the pancreas and is recommended for individuals with diabetes. It expands the thoracic region, increases appetite, and reduces abdominal fat. The well-executed bow pose strengthens muscles and stretches stubborn fat, embodying the analogy of an archer’s bow.

Precautions: Avoid if you have high blood pressure, back pain, headache, migraine, or have undergone abdominal surgery.

Salabhasana (Locust Pose):

Effective in countering the effects of prolonged sitting and postural compromises, the locust pose works on posture, relieving lower back pain, correcting slouching, and strengthening back muscles. It symbolizes doing things with ease, like a locust, promoting flexibility and lifting the torso for positive body transformations.

Precautions: People with a weak spine, low bone density, and neck injuries should avoid this asana.

Trikonasana (Triangle Pose):

A standing asana that strengthens various body parts, including legs, knees, ankles, arms, and chest, while improving digestion and reducing anxiety, stress, back pain, and sciatica. The triangle shape symbolizes finding one’s steady balance, requiring a good stretch, an alert mind, and patient pose-holding.

Precautions: Avoid if you suffer from migraine, diarrhea, low or high blood pressure, or neck and disc herniation or back injuries.

Virabhadrasana (Warrior Pose):

Named after the Hindu God Shiva, this pose combines standing and stabilizing actions, enhancing endurance. Engage your chest, lungs, shoulders, neck, belly, and groin area to become the warrior against weight loss, challenging lethargy.

Precautions: Not recommended for people with spinal disorders, and those with high blood pressure should avoid.
