“The All-in-One Yoga Pose for Weight loss and Cardiovascular health”
New Delhi: Deepak Patel, a Wellness Counselor and Yoga Therapist, explains how Yoga can help rejuvenate your life and meet your life goals:
Embarking on a weight-loss journey is a powerful decision, and it’s important to remember that this process is not just about shedding some kilograms—it's about reclaiming your health, confidence, and vitality. Every step you take brings you closer to a younger, rejuvenated, more energized version of yourself.
Yoga is one of the best ways to start your weight loss journey. You can begin by combining one intermediate yoga posture with cardio exercises, like spot walking, jogging and skipping can be a balanced approach to achieve your goals. One of the best intermediate postures to lose weight and inches is the Revolving Chair pose.

The twisting motion engages and squeezes the abdominal muscles, aiding in easy digestion, timely elimination and regular detoxification. This pose also enhances oxygen absorption and blood purification, increasing overall calorie burn.
Combining the Revolving Chair Pose (Parivrtta Utkatasana) with simple cardio exercises creates a dynamic, weight-loss-focused routine that strengthens muscles, improves balance, and increases cardiovascular endurance.
