Chapter 1 - Yoga For Beginners
Yoga is an ancient practice that has been around for over 500 years. The term yoga came from a Sanskrit word yuj which means to unite. In simpler terms, yoga aims to unify the persons consciousness and universal consciousness.
Ancient yoga practitioners believe that humans have to harmonize his body and the environment. In yoga, the body is seen as a sacred vessel and should be treated with utmost respect.
Yoga Poses
Most people think that yoga only involves stretching but it is more about creating a balance in the body while developing strength and flexibility. This is usually achieved through poses and postures. Each of the poses has a special purpose and benefit. When these poses are done in succession, you create body heat through your movements.
Which yoga is for you?
There are a lot of options for beginners who want to explore yoga. You can improve your flexibility and quiet your mind with any yoga style. You can get the most benefit by choosing a yoga style that fits your lifestyle and personality.

Kripalu Yoga

Chapter 2 - Yoga Weight Loss For Beginners
Yoga may not be seen to produce the same weight loss effects as boot camps or rigorous workout but doctors and fitness experts say that the deep breathing and slow poses incorporated in each session can tone the body while also relaxing the mind. Here are some tips on how you can maximize the weight loss effects of yoga.
Aim to go beyond the burn
Calories burned during a single session vary from 180 to 360 calories per hour. Vinyasa, Ashtanga and power yoga tend to burn more calories. Yoga fusion workouts that mix other cardio workouts like kickboxing and dance also accelerate their calorie burning potential.
During yoga, your breathing technique heats your body up and flushes toxin out which can boost your lymphatic system. Also, yoga emphasizes on mind and body connection. People who practice yoga are more aware of the foods that they are eating. Yoga can also help you differentiate cravings from true hunger.
