** Voted Top Health App of 2014 by leading
doctors **
“Yoga for Weight-Loss” is part of Saagara’s new series of apps for various ailments. Combining the
simplicity of “Core Yoga” with traditionally therapeutic yoga poses, we’ve constructed an app aimed solely at helping
users manage their weight.
While dieting has been shown to reduce visceral fat, exercise is essential for burning
subcutaneous fat stores (those that cause belly and thigh fat). This app is designed to help you tone your abs, get in
shape, and improve your overall health.
According to the yogic texts, excess fat must be converted to strength
and energy for effective weight loss. “Yoga for Weight-Loss” has incorporated specific exercises which mobilize the
body’s fat reserves and turn them into usable energy. Regular practice of these exercises makes the body lean and
healthy.
“Yoga for Weight-Loss” draws upon traditional hatha yoga and was formulated by an expert in ancient
yogic methods. The program guides you through several yoga poses while emphasizing correct breathing methods. As you
become accustomed to the exercises, you can change the settings from beginner to intermediate to advanced, for a longer
more effective session.
Yoga asanas and techniques included:
-Suryanamaskara A (Sun Salutation
A)
-Suryanamaskara B (Salutation B) – advanced
-Trikonasana (Triangle Pose)
-Veerabhadrasana (Warrior
Pose)
