Weight loss yoga, a new healthy weight loss proposition, is a popular weight loss method nowadays. Yoga for weight loss is very effective because it requires the entire body to stretch, maintaining good coordination and balance.

Step your left foot out to the side at a 90-degree angle, raise your right hand over your shoulder with your palm facing inward. Bend your body toward the left side.
