Because the main function of yoga is to decompress, regulate and coordinate physical and mental health. Yoga can lose weight, but it is only an auxiliary means to lose weight. Diet control and aerobic and anaerobic exercise are the main methods to lose weight.
Losing weight mainly depends on consuming calories, and the most effective means of losing weight are scientific diet control and effective exercise. Therefore, unless it is some special yoga practice such as bikram yoga, it is difficult to lose weight in a short time by practicing yoga. After practicing yoga, I won't lose too much weight in the short term, but my body composition structure is better than before.
Compared with aerobic exercise, yoga loses weight slowly because it burns fewer calories, but slow weight loss does not mean it is ineffective.
Aerobic exercise is strong, can strengthen muscle exercise and naturally lose weight quickly, but it is not suitable for older people. Yoga is suitable for people of all ages. In addition to losing weight, you can also change your attitude towards life mentally, thus enhancing the vitality of life.
