If you feel that it’s time to get rid of those extra love handles in the belly, join our yoga classes in Bangalore at Sri Krishna Wellness Yoga & Cultural Centre. Unfortunately, many of you still don’t believe that it’s possible to reduce belly fat with regular yoga practice.
Yoga: The oldest tradition to lose weight
It’s surprising to find out that most people nowadays come to know about the advantages of yoga only after watching the moves of the top actresses in B-town. Once you see the washboard abs of these social figures, you will feel envious.
Forget the envy and concentrate on how you can flaunt a similar figure without spending thousands at the gym or buying personal fitness equipment. If eliminating belly fat is the sole purpose, then also yoga sessions will be highly helpful.
Yoga for reducing belly fat
Here comes the most awaited news- it’s possible to get rid of a huge belly by practicing yoga. The real surprise is that yoga can get rid of belly fat in ways that you can never anticipate.
- Stress is always a significant reason for weight gain.
- The stress hormone cortisol can directly enhance the data storage process, leading to undue weight gain, when you are under stress.
- Cortisol plays an active role in relocating the fat cells deeper inside the abdomen as visceral fat.
- Such belly fat is not only visually unpleasant but also detrimental to your physical health.
Practicing yoga is an effective way of stress management. Yoga teaches you to manage stress levels, focus on self-care, and maintain a healthy eat-sleep balance in life. The cumulative effect will reduce cortisol levels, leading to weight loss and a considerable reduction in belly fat.
A gradual process
Yoga is not a process that will yield the outcome overnight. It will take time to witness the changes. So, it’s safe to say that yoga is a process of slowly reducing belly fat and attaining a slimmer appearance in a few months.
But you will start noticing the effect right after a few sessions. Bea a part of our yoga classes at the yoga studio in Bangalore and find out how the belly will start looking flatter after a few sessions.
But then, yoga is not for you if you expect spot reduction. Although the visible changes will appear soon after joining the classes, it will take some time before you find a notable reduction in waist size.
