justify;\">Before diving into the duration of yoga poses for weight loss, let&#8217;s first understand the benefits of yoga in this context. Unlike high-intensity workouts, yoga offers a low-impact way to burn calories and shed excess pounds. It also helps reduce stress levels, which can contribute to emotional eating and weight gain. By practicing yoga, you can cultivate mindfulness, making it easier to make conscious choices about your diet and lifestyle.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_Started_with_Yoga_for_Weight_Loss\"><\/span>Getting Started with Yoga for Weight Loss<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When starting your yoga journey for weight loss, it&#8217;s important to set realistic goals and choose the right poses that target different muscle groups.

Instead of focusing solely on the number on the scale, consider other factors such as increased energy levels, improved flexibility, and better overall well-being.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_the_Right_Poses\"><\/span>Choosing the Right Poses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Certain yoga poses are more effective for weight loss than others. Opt for poses that engage multiple muscle groups, increase heart rate, and promote a sense of balance and stability. These poses often require you to engage your core and maintain balance, thus burning more calories.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_Routine\"><\/span>Creating a Routine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Consistency is key when it comes to any fitness routine.
