Belly fat, spare tire, muffin top stomach fat by any other name is still fat. The conventional wisdom of the day the Internet is full of recommendations on how to get rid of unsightly stomach fat. While yoga helps to build muscle and burn fat all over the body, including the middle, some forms of yoga are more effective than others for burning calories and reducing fat. Womens Health evaluated different types of yoga to determine what type of yoga burned the most calories. Hatha yoga is a gentle form of yoga that burns approximately 175 calories per hour. Power yoga will burn around 300 calories per hour, and Vinyasa yoga, which links poses in a vigorous, flowing routine, can burn 445 calories per hour. An intense yoga routine performed in a hot, humid room, called Bikram yoga or hot yoga, can burn up to 636 calories per hour, as much as an hour of running. With hot yoga you will probably notice some immediate weight loss due to water loss. Whether or not you actually lose stomach fat from practicing yoga, you will benefit from stretching, building and lengthening your muscles. The muscle-building and muscle-stretching moves performed during yoga help you look leaner, even if you maintain the same level of body fat, as well as providing you with gains in muscle strength and stability.

Yoga to reduce belly fat

ON any other day, a yoga class on the lawn at the Ballarat Botanical Gardens might merely have been a pleasant change of scenery.

ON any other day, a yoga class on the lawn at the Ballarat Botanical Gardens might merely have been a pleasant change of scenery.

However, for the teachers and students of Absolute Yoga, it will represent a new start.

Today at 9am, Absolute Yoga owner and instructor Tracey Hargreaves will hold a yoga class at the gardens with several instructors and up to 20 of her students, just 36 hours after she watched her studio above Plaster Fun House burn.

I dont know if I would use the word wake to describe it, she said.

Maybe its more about a new start.

We will just go and chuck the mats on the grass and have a practice together.

Im going to miss the place (the studio) and so will the other teachers.

We also had a couple of hundred people who came regularly and theyll miss it to.

DETROIT (WWJ) A yoga instructor is trying for a world record this month: 3,000 people doing yoga on the field at Ford Field.

Eric Paskel says about 1,000 people have already signed up for the class, which will even include a Detroit Lion or two. Paskel says the class hell teach will be something that anyone can do, no matter the fitness level.

It is a therapy really, said Paskel. From the bottoms of the feet to the top of my head and inside-out.

Paskel, a Detroit native who lives in California, has been in town checking out the venue.

I got on the field, said Paskel, and we mapped out what it is going to be like and where the mats go. There wont be a blade of grass that you can really see. And its powerful. It was really, really exciting, looking up in the stands.

For Paskel, who owns the Yoga Shelter chain in metro Detroit, yoga is all about finding your edge. That means anyone can do any pose by finding the point where they are working as hard as they can for their own bodies. Someone who cant reach their toes, for example, will get the same, or even better, workout than someone more flexible who is not working as hard.

The world record attempt will take place February 22, and Paskal says theyre even organizing some bus tours so those who participate can tour downtown as well. Youll need to bring a mat, some water, if you like, and a towel.
