The breathing exercises done in conjunction with the movements, help expand you lung capacity, improve your circulatory system and raises the internal heat of the body, thus helping it to burn up and eliminate toxins, dead gases and waste products.

For safe and healthy weight loss, practice this set daily if possible.  Start off doing each exercise for only about 30 seconds or 1 minute each and then build up from there.  Use the modifications that are provided if you need to and be sure to pace yourself. 

If you need to take a short break between the exercises do so, otherwise do them in sequence one after the other without rest.  The purpose of this kundalini yoga set, is not only to help you loose the weight, but also to develop a healthy, fit body full of abundant energy.

    Hi Anmol,

    I like your site it is really very nice…
    As my friend told i started off with kapalbhati..and came to know from your site that it is very good.

    Main reason i wanted to write is I have been recently diagnosed with PCOD. I am a female and My age is almost 27 years and recently married.
    My height is 5’2″ and weight is 79kgs.
    I am feeling very lazy these days, due to excess fat i believe.

    What is the best way to loose weight and get rid of this PCOD.
    Are there any particular asanas for this ??
    if not could you please suggest a weight loss program ?

    Please suggest…

    Regards,
    Preeti

    I sincerely believe that attempting to lose weight without addressing the subconscious condition is why so many people struggle– thank goodness that we have people like Anmol and this website to redirect our energies. Obesity is a silent killer…
