Performing certain asanas (yoga postures) benefit a weight loss program. Shoulder stand, plow, and fish pose increase metabolism by stimulating the thyroid and parathyroid glands. Practicing sun salutations, warrior poses, headstands, and handstands will burn a lot of calories, improve balance, and increase muscle mass.
If you are new to yoga, these asanas should be learned from an experienced teacher. Do not turn your head while you are in a shoulder stand or plow position. You can hurt your neck.
Experienced yoga teachers know how to teach students to work up to these poses with the use of props. Many teachers use blankets for shoulder stand to help protect the neck. The wall may be used to assist students with balance while practicing shoulder stand, headstand, or handstand. Wait for your teacher to help you. Be safe and protect your body.
