One of the main principles of yoga is the unity of physical and spiritual practices. Yoga therapy uses a holistic, that is, a holistic approach to the treatment of a person, which is also the basis of all health and weight loss programs in the unique Indian centre for yoga. Yoga therapy creates balance in the nervous and endocrine systems and affects the health of the entire body. Regular yoga practice can effectively relieve symptoms of asthma, diabetes, arthritis, digestive tract diseases and other common chronic diseases, as well as help to lose weight.
A few helpful tips from yoga therapy for weight loss from Naturopathy Centre:
FULL BREATH
Full Breathing is a breathing technique that engages the abdomen, chest and shoulders. Try to concentrate and gradually expand your abdomen with the inhaled air, then your chest and finally your shoulders. After that, you have to exhale, also using your shoulders first, then your chest, then your stomach. This will help you make your breathing slow, deep, and mindful.
SURYA NAMASKAR (SALUTATION TO THE SUN)
Surya Namaskar, or Salutation to the Sun, is a set of 12 dynamic asanas for warm-up and stretching of the main muscles. With constant and conscious practice, Surya Namaskar helps maintain balance in the hormonal and nervous system.
PRANAYAMA
Pranayama is the control of prana (life energy) through various breathing exercises. Such breathing techniques in yoga are aimed at cleansing energy channels, relieving stress and gaining physical and emotional harmony.
YOGA NIDRA (YOGIS SLEEP)
Yoga nidra is a special direction of yoga to achieve complete mental and physical relaxation, which is important for losing weight. It is believed that 1 hour of nidra replaces 4 hours of proper sleep. Yoga nidra and other meditation techniques help reduce stress levels and strengthen the nervous and immune systems, which are beneficial for weight loss.
The holistic approach used in yoga therapy implies that any disease, including obesity, comes from our subconscious and weight gain is not always associated with poor nutrition. That is why it is not necessary to treat symptoms, such as excess weight, but the reasons that led to these symptoms. This is precisely the purpose of the treatment at Naturopathy centre.
