Yoga For Weight Loss with Roxy Shahidi

Yoga for Weight Loss with Roxy Shahidi

Yoga for Weight Loss was choreographed by Roxy Shahidi to help women lose those unwanted pounds and get them looking and, most importantly, feeling their best. There are times in all of our lives where we may have extra inches we want to shed. This DVD practice has been designed for you to do every day to help you stay in shape and keep you emotionally balanced. The programme consists of:

WARM UP: (10 mins) This fluid warm up is designed to gently wake up the body and get your energy system flowing so you may start your practice feeling invigorated and awake.

SEQUENCE 1: Cardio & Standing Series (20 mins) This flowing sequence consists of the classical sun salutations all constructed to raise your heart beat and build strength. As we build heat in the body we begin to detoxify and purify ourselves allowing us to work off that extra weight and tone up our muscles.

SEQUENCE 2: Core strengthening (20 mins) This core sequence focuses on the mid-section of the body with focus on your abs and lower back. We all tend to store most of our extra weight in this area so this firming sequence is targeted to build up your muscles to provide you with a solid core. The lower back movements help improve your posture to prevent slumping, as good posture promotes correct organ function and aids in elimination of excess calories.

SEQUENCE 3: Seated Flow (20 mins) This gentle flow is designed to help you unwind and relax. Stress is one of the main causes for over-eating or over-indulging but there are better ways to calm you and release tension. Stretching the body will help you let go of any mental, physical and emotional blockages that are keeping you from being the best you can be.

BREATH: (10 mins) The breath is the quickest way to invigorate and open the body. This breathing practice can be done anywhere and has been formulated to energise you to start your day or re-charge yourself periodically when you need a lift.

SAVASANA: (5 mins) The savasana is a full relaxation practice to help you let go and completely unwind and put you in a meditative state. We all need to rest and this time allows all the work you have done in the previous flows to integrate into your system allowing change to take place. Roxy uses these practices to keep her in shape and looking and feeling her best! So come join Roxy in this yoga practice to rev up your metabolism and firm your core so you can look and feel great!
