Workout and weight loss on wheels- yoga

Yoga doesn't require strenuous movements or heavy weights, rather a positive environment of mindfulness, focused deep breathing and stretching. We learn to connect with our bodies, silence the negative messages, and control our thoughts about eating. People are more in tune to their bodies and their needs which can result in weight loss. Changes in the body lead to changes in the mind, which changes behavior in both mind and body. The result is the ultimate change is the body's very shape and size. People avoid beating themselves up over diet slip-ups are more likely to return to the routine quicker. It's more effective to say 'I love you' to your body than "I hate you." Yoga reduces cortisol, a hormone that stimulates fat and carbohydrate metabolism which increases appetite. Yoga is not a competition and doesn't care about your physical condition, your age, your ability or disability. Yoga starts wherever you are and does not require standing.
