Being fond of Yoga, I decided to find out how I can lose weight with its help. The article describes everything correctly. I started exercising after eating, when almost three hours passed, although two hours is also possible. After a month of classes, I began to eat moderately and healthier food, the body began to tell me itself. Then, due to time constraints on weekdays, I started doing it in the mornings, but only after half an hour had passed, and before the workout, I drank a glass of water mixed with honey. I felt energetic all day. After three months, the body became toned, a beautiful press appeared. And the article correctly states that you need to do a warm-up. In general, I started eating moderately, lost weight, started feeling better, started getting enough sleep, my brain started working better. There are only pluses here.

Paripurna Navasana is a great pose for the stomach. I've been doing it for several weeks. My abdominal muscles have strengthened and my waist has decreased. It's a great asana, but it's difficult, it takes willpower not to give up. Paripurna Navasana is a great pose for the stomach. I've been doing it for several weeks.
