30 Day Yoga for Weight Loss With Julia Marie

Welcome to the 30-day yoga challenge! You will burn calories, build muscle and create healthy habits to help you keep the weight off and live more optimally.

Sometimes we lack the motivation to get fit, work out, or indulge in the self-care practices we need. Throughout this 30-day program, you will begin to develop the tools you need.

Amp up your flow by understanding what it means to flow breath with movement. You'll get all the benefits of cardio, increasing muscle mass, and how to dive into brain training.

Some gentle movement and meditation. Most of the time, when we think about weight loss, we have these visions of having to work ourselves to exhaustion, and that's not true.

Physical activity increases circulation and releases endorphins to give you more stamina and energy. A habit of consistent physical exercise will strengthen your heart.

When we're stressed out, the discomfort of exercise can feel worse than it is. Essentially our fight or flight mode may be out of whack because our nervous system is on hyperdrive.

We cannot spot-tone our body. But we can examine our overall habits, and where our body tends to store fat.

Day 9 is all about the glutes and yoga is perfect for that. When you build large muscle groups like quads and glutes, you are increasing your metabolism and burning more fat.

Day 10 is all about detoxing, so a lot of twists and a lot of heat! Twists in yoga are super beneficial for digestion, toning the midsection, and having a healthy spine.

Upper body, chest, arms & back. Yoga does require upper body strength, and it can be a great way to get to know your upper body, build strength and get lean arms with definition.

Today's flow is a special yoga and HIIT combo. You're going to have the awesome toning benefits of yoga mixed with the high-intensity intervals for an amazing cardio workout.

Today's flow is a gentle one to reset your body after quite a few days of heavy work. We need to stretch out our joints, promote healthy muscles and balance our effort and ease.

You might notice how strong your body is getting, but you may also notice that the beginning gains are starting to taper off. This amped-up flow is exactly what you need.

This flow continues from the last one increasing the challenge with a balance flow. Balance is essential for any workout or yoga regimen so that you tone your legs.

You made it past the halfway point! To celebrate, you're going to learn how to tackle the really fun crow pose; an arm balance, that will tone and strengthen your upper body.

After yesterdays class, this one is a treat. Some relief for all those arm balances in your neck and shoulders. Feeling tight and tense in your shoulders is a common problem

Today's flow is all about backbends. All that shoulder opening you did is going to be tremendously helpful as you get into your backbends.

Endurance intervals! It's still high-intensity interval training, but your intervals are going to be 45 seconds long, and your rest portions will be 15 seconds. Yoga meets HIIT.

This practice is a beautiful way to help nourish your joints, balance your body, and help you get really restful sleep, which is essential for your health.

Amped up cardio flow where you go through your sun salutations, but adding some spice to them.

Twists and side bend movements we don't typically do daily, so our brain loves it when we take one side of our body and cross it over the other to help coordination and balance.

Day 23 is another power yoga HIIT workout, with some added belly fat burning with the main focus of sculpting the upper shoulders and back.

After yesterday's intense shoulder work, this video will help you open those shoulders, get great posture, and boost your hormones.

Day 25 is a special deep burn flow. In this critical video, you learn to get deep into those muscles, especially your stabilizer muscle.

Agility is our ability to move swiftly but with control and a lot of balance, which means you will be targeting the deep core muscles that help stabilize your spine.

Mixing high intensity with flow, you're going to be combining moves that ignite big burner muscles and boost metabolism with stabilizer muscles that help you feel strong and agile.

Yin Yoga is modeled after the same meridian lines that you might work on in acupuncture. Today's video focuses on the liver and gallbladder meridians

You're almost there, day 29! This one is a total body power flow, so everything is moving from head to toe.

You made it! Day 30! The final workout is a HIIT yoga fusion that you should be used to by now. You'll definitely feel the burn and afterwards you'll be feeling great!
