Mondays in Maldon @ 10.30am (Hatha Yoga – Mixed Level)

In order to lose weight the healthy way, both diet and exercise, as well as getting enough rest, staying hydrated, and reducing stress, must be considered. Yoga for weight loss can not only shed unwanted pounds, but also help with balance, strength, flexibility, focus and more.

While some overweight people may think that they have too much bulk or not enough flexibility to try yoga, yoga teachers say the opposite is true. No one would say “I can’t play basketball because I can’t slam dunk” – a beginner starts off without the skills, and improves as they learn. The same is true for yoga exercises to lose weight.

Here are some tips to lose weight using a yoga practice.

Physical Yoga Benefits

Yoga is a gentle exercise that improves flexibility, strength, balance and focus. There are several ways that these yoga benefits can help someone lose weight the healthy way.

• Compression and elongation of the internal organs can improve digestion and metabolism.
• Yoga poses can help tone and strengthen muscles, which can make the body look more sculpted.
• More rigorous types of yoga, such as power yoga, Bikram yoga, and ashtanga can increase the heart rate, providing a cardiovascular workout.
• Improved range of motion and flexibility, combined with stronger muscles, can correct postural problems that may accompany weight gain. Better posture can also help a person look thinner.

Yoga for weight loss may not happen overnight, but the improvements to posture, balance and strength can be appreciated, too.

A regular Power Yoga session was added to the timetable last week and we had a great response from the first class!

Power Yoga is a more physically demanding style of Yoga, although we are going through the basic postures in great detail at this early stage in the classes.  As the postures become familiar we will begin to challenge the flowing sequences more each week.

Power Yoga uses a continuous flow of postures based around the ancient and beautiful Sun Salutation Sequence.  This sequence is taught clearly to new students so that everyone can practice safely and effectively.

If you would like to try this challenging and highly rewarding style of Yoga please contact me on 07787 512617.

HALF TERM IS MON 15^TH TO FRI 19^TH FEB

WHAT’S NEW THIS MONTH???

ZUMBA FITNESS – JOIN THE PARTY!

Zumba is a hypnotic blend of fantastic tracks including Salsa, Rumba, Cumbia and Reggaeton.  The same moves are repeated weekly in order for class members to learn the routines over a period of 8 weeks. Please note that these are the ONLY licensed Zumba classes in South East Essex at present! If you enjoy dancing and think that exercise should be fun – then this one class you really have to try! Zumba features in 8 magazines in Feb! Mondays 7.30pm and Fridays 10.30am in Maldon.

10 Things That Make You Lose Fat

Without You Having to Lift a Finger

1. Eat smaller more frequent meals – not only is your metabolism boosted every time you eat something, your body can more efficiently process smaller meals. Instead of having 3 large meals in a day, try to break them up into 5 or 6 smaller meals.

2. Drink more water – regular water intake helps to flush away waste prod

3. Be inefficient – do you need to go to the kitchen to get a couple of things? Break it up into to two trips even if you can do it in one. Being inefficient like this can easily double your activity level, burning calories without even trying.

4. Eat more protein – sources of protein include foods such as chicken, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, lean red meats, etc. Your body burns more calories processing protein than either carbohydrates or fats. Protein also helps to support your muscle tissue, which burns calories all day long!

5. Take the stairs instead of the elevator - any time you can add in a little more physical activity, do it. This doesn’t mean you need to slog up 20 flights of stairs. Even a flight or two done regularly will add up.

6. Don’t let yourself get hungry – when you get hungry you will have a much greater tendency to overeat when you do finally get something to eat. As well, because your body is starting to go into starvation mode, it will be much more likely to hold onto whatever you give it.

7. Order small portions at restaurants – it’s tough to order small french fries when “supersizing” your order is such a great “value.” Take note, however, your real savings will occur in the calories that don’t end up on your backside.

8. Eat more fiber – fiber is very filling. By eating more fiber you will find yourself full sooner. This feeling of fullness will last a long time as well.

9. Wait 20 minutes between servings – your brain takes at least 20 minutes to register that you’re full. By waiting that long, you’ll give your brain a chance to realize that you don’t really need any more food.

10. Cheat on your diet – one thing I always make my clients promise is that they will cheat on their diet. The only thing I ask that they do is to cheat ONLY when they have planned to cheat. By planning when you are going to eat the foods you crave, you take back control of your eating habits.

This way you no longer “give in” to your cravings. You “reward yourself” for sticking to proper nutritional habits. Do this once or wice a week and you will feel far more in control of your eating.

In conclusion, if you follow even a few of these 10 easy tips in the long term, you will certainly notice a difference in your overall weight and health.

Following the success of our Power Yoga workshop we are delighted to announce the launch of a brand new class starting on Thursday 25th February as follows:

POWER YOGA WITH JOANI – THURSDAYS 8.30PM MALDON

For further details or to book a place please call us on 07787 512617

Following our Masterclasses on Saturday 16th when evaluations were handed out to everyone that attended my first Power Yoga class.  I am delighted to say that the class recieved 100% thumbs up – everyone liked this challenging style of Yoga and the majority were keen to see Power Yoga included on the timetable as soon as possible, which is great!

I am hoping to integrate Power Yoga into sessions from the end of February and there will be a daytime and evening session, so I will keep you all posted.

Thanks for all your enthusiasm and support.

Love
