Best Yoga Poses For Weight Loss

Even though this pose is good for your abs, it also really works your arms and shoulders because you are putting all of your weight on one side. 

1. Side Plank 

Chaturanga is a great way to build power in your upper body.

2. Chaturanga

Think of a push-up where your arms are tucked in and your hands are hanging in the "down" position. 

It takes time to get to this pose, but just getting ready for it helps you build arm power. 

3. Crow Pose

The goal is to slowly work up to more difficult poses, and you should never force your body into a pose.

Downward-Facing Dog is one of the most well-known yoga poses, but most people don't know that it can completely burn your arms and shoulders until they try it. 

4. Downward Facing Dog

This pose is good for relaxing and building all over, but if you want to work on your arms, this is a great place to start.

The plank pose is the best way to build strength in your upper body and core. 

5. Plank Pose

That's why it's one of the first poses in our upper body yoga workout and our 15-minute yoga workout for weight loss.
