Can men practice yoga to lose weight?

When talking about yoga, I believe that many friends' first reaction is that women practice it. In fact, in India, the birthplace of yoga, many men have also joined the ranks of yoga practitioners. Because after practicing yoga, the whole body will be better relaxed, and at the same time, the whole person's balance will be better improved, and of course, the body will be better maintained. So, can men lose weight by practicing yoga? In the next period of time, please ask friends to join me in finding the answer to this question.

What's the point of controlling the world when your body is not under your control?

Yoga teaches you to control your body.

The word Yoga comes from the Indian Sanskrit word yug or yuj, which is a pronunciation that means "consistency", "combination" or "harmony". Yoga postures adjust the breath through consciousness, use postures to adjust the body's balance, and stimulate the body's own energy through relaxation to promote health. Its ultimate goal is to be able to control oneself and control the physical senses. Ancient yoga believers firmly believed that by exercising the body and regulating breathing, they could completely control the mind and emotions and maintain a healthy body forever.

Yoga postures include stretching, strength, endurance and cardiopulmonary function strengthening exercises. For many people who have some experience in practicing yoga, the most direct effect they perceive is that yoga relieves many sub-health states caused by busy work: reduced immunity, physical exhaustion, and sometimes psychological frustration, muscle tension, spinal pain, fatigue, shortness of breath and even memory loss. We at Karma Yoga in Pudong, Shanghai even learned that when many men practice yoga, they find that the flexibility and balance of yoga are of great benefit to improving their golf skills. As the postures of yoga practice gradually become more difficult, and many movements require arm support, male students begin to gain the upper hand.

Scientific and clinical studies have proven that yoga does have a positive impact on health.

Yoga is a kind of training that uses consciousness to adjust breathing, achieve whole body balance through body postures, and restore the body's self-healing ability. An experiment supported by the Complementary Medicine Center of the U.S. Department of Health found that yoga can improve fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis and is better than other sports. The deep breathing of yoga helps to concentrate; the complete and balanced contraction and stretching movements can train the elasticity of the muscles and joints of the whole body, which is an effect that cannot be achieved by single sports such as walking or riding a bicycle.

Through the description of the above paragraphs, I believe that most of my friends have their own unique insights and more standard answers to the question of whether men can lose weight by practicing yoga. Of course, I still want to tell my friends that yoga is not as simple as we think, so we must practice it within our own abilities. Don't force yourself to do something you can't do.
