<h3 class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">How does Yoga make you lose weight?</span></strong></h3>
&nbsp;
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Yoga</strong> is an active form of meditation that makes use of <strong>Asanas</strong> (Sanskrit word for poses), <strong>Pranayama</strong> (breathing) and <strong>Shatkarma</strong> (internal cleansing).</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Each <em>Yoga</em> poses has a great impact on the body both <strong>physically</strong> and <strong>internally</strong>.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Depending on what pose you do, Yoga can make for an <strong>intense workout</strong> proven to be effective in <strong>losing weight</strong>.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This is because performing these Yoga poses <strong>stimulates the whole body</strong> increasing the demand for energy thus <strong>boosting metabolism</strong> consequently losing weight!</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">And Yoga’s awesomeness does not end there, with consistent Yoga practice you are going to <strong>develop your body’s strength and flexibility</strong>, you will be able to gain more control of your body.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I personally love to do Yoga session just after I get out of bed. My routine is to drink a glass of water after I wake up and straight to the mat!</span></p>
<p class="p1"><em><span class="s1">This 5 minute Yoga session is short and sweet but gives you that blasting energy for boosting metabolism for the rest of the day and lose weight without even trying!</span></em></p>
