Yoga for Weight Loss with Tara Stiles

[stg2143]

i have spent so long trying to motivate myself to find an excercise i actually enjoy and i can keep up, and i this is the first i have found so far! definitely going to keep it up and see if i can get toned.

[StoneyTheBear]

I think yoga is the perfect 'workout' for stoners, hahah...

It's hard as friggin crap, but i love it! =]]

[radskapoor]

That's a convoluted version of surya namaskar. Not real yoga to me.

[Shanstarjayne]

I've Been doing this Most days for 3 weeks and someone said to me a few days ago that I've lost weight in the apst few weeks... I love this routine . Its especially good on a rainy day when you can't do anything else active :D

[Soderita]

[mellovedance00]

hey everyone. I've tried this workout for one week. I have not checked my weight yet but i want to do it for two weeks first.

However, your legs get really nicely toned, and smaller, as well, my upper body is alot stronger, ive already noticed.

[isuck137]

Thanks for the great video Tara Stiles and fordmodel channel. Does anyone know if the initial positions are suppose to put strain on the wrists?

[jellymill]

I go to yoga twice a week and its no longer having an effect on me (i was sore for a while but not anymore).. i think this routine is gonna give me a new challenge. Tara, your yoga videos are awesome :)

[ClubGirly]

does this really help lose weight?

[itsEMILYTERROR]

omg i tried this i almost died! ahahha

[Str8isis]

The chair pose on the toes is KILLER for the legs. One of the best toning exercises in yoga!

[Orkideana]

[arturo2k8]

[ZendleDotCom]

hey Tara thanks for this routine , its realy very useful for a person for getting the lost shape again

[AmandaZ131]

eat something

[TheeRandom]

Jealous???

[Tinkabell1985]

Why does it cut out half way through? I've watched it 3 times and it keeps cutting out at the same point before the end.

[TheeRandom]

I'm not exactly a genius to these sorta things but if I had to guess I'd say that someone was editing the film at one point or another and it just cuts there, that or it downloaded onto Youtube funky....

[timothyjesus]

beautiful

[bconti]

nobody took that fine piece of as to her prom?

[lynn1028551labyrinth]

she's pretty & very skinny ! :D

[cutef2008]

[iainirv]

how many times does she have to do downward dog anyways

[CatCommunication]

that's kinda normal

[ZendleDotCom]

hey thanks for ur great work in the area of yoga and weightloss, it has helped me a lot in maintaining my fitness

[mousiehousie13]

yoga is sexy! :]

[aichizu]

yoga is very sexy. <3

[sinch19]

hm.. looks interesting.. i think i will try.:)

[KatsuMacKinncheez]

Try not saying "UH" so much in your next video, it makes you sound very unprofessional, also slow down, your rushing it too much for beginners.

[nltmf]

hola tara al fin encontre un angel en la tierra

[thatcharm]

thank you so much for teaching me yoga! i never really pictured it as a work out per say...more like stretching/relaxation...this kicked my ass. also loved the neck and back pain sesh. <3melissa

[ladyyean]

alllooo.. im very like dis yoga,, im like to try

[sacredgeometry]

I find it tremendous that you both think that you should only boycott McDonalds because of the smaller businesses. What about all the rainforest land they cut down, destroying people's native land only to produce GM meat, which is harmful to animals and us. Its a major corporation that destroys nature. its unhealthy its full of e nimbers and saturated fat. What about all of that? You should both watch The corporation that will give you something to think about.

[dzwink92]

the only yoga pose in that was the down faceing dog, everything eles was made up...

[lovebugs27]

ahhhh plank and chair pose have been in every yoga class or video i have ever done

[braziliangirl25]

Come on... that's not yoga! Where is the breathing, the concentration, the grace? Look up some real yoga videos to have an idea of how beautiful it can be! Maybe she was inspired by yoga, but that's NOT yoga...

[zappyzappyzappy]

I agree,

this is american yoga for hollywood star system

nothing more than fitness, this is fitness for american star of hollyowood

boycott hollywood, by the way, it's really bad for the true indipendent movies makers all around the world.

[jpdt007]

boycott hollywood?? just because it "bad" for independent producers haha...ok let boycott starbucks because its "bad" for small cofee shops...or boycott mcdonalds because its "bad" for smaller restaurants...We live in a free market society people consume what they want...sorry after all its THEIR money if they want hollywood well thats too bad...if you want to get more attention as an independent movie maker then GET BETTER you have to compete thats true for all entrepenours

[zappyzappyzappy]

such a poor way of thinking,"get better" to compete, ahahaha!!just continue to enjoy your hollywood blockbuster (Spiderman & Titanic) until you are 18 years old, then you will be ready to know true cinéma.

I also boycott mc donald

and of course starbucks, it's about the quality.

But of course, if you give your money to hollywood industry, quality is not so important for you.

so sad to believe in "competition", espacially in art.

[jpdt007]

It not about "good cinema" or "bad cinema" its about peoples chioices...Today people ARE choosing hollywood movies...i love good movies i love bergman, cronenberg, and good indie movies. By getting better i mean if YOU think you have a good movie then move your ass and get investors, get publicity it may not be the way you want it but face it IT IS the world you live in...and like it or not "art" is all about conections and "knowing the right people" to get attention sorry thats how it is...

[jpdt007]

And by the way its not about ME or ME choosing hollywood...i dont choose hollywood or starbucks for that matter but "boycatting" is a poor way of thinking in todays world because people WANT that even though its bad quality...i agree its bad cuality then its YOUR choice and only yours too choose not to consume it...the only way to change that is to "compete" with bad cuality products making good quality with the same marketing...its all about marketing thats just the way people react and consume

[123KAIO]

hi!!! in some way i agree with you...she is doing the outside yoga it is not deep in selflearning but she does explain every detail of each asana very well... offcourse in a very simple way, she shows up just the tip of the iceberg that you can find in yoga way of life...Namâste

[krissy4nik]

Eh for all of the people who are talking about the fact that yoga burn few calories true but for those who arent very active(myself included) any activity is a start and its better than nothing. as people become more flexible theyll want a higher impact workout.

[nikkboniwell]

you must have been so bored to post a reply to a comment that was written weeks and weeks ago........

[tigercub888]

I LOVE yoga, but I'm with Xanthosine here. Basic yoga, like sun salutations, are great for flexibility, balance & maybe toning, but it's not an aerobic activity. Don't be fooled bc you're out of breath! To loose weight, try quick walking / jogging. Model scouts choose girls because they're naturally tall & skinny. And even those who are not anorexic eat a lot less than normal people! I mean, look at how small her bone structure is. She's not thin bc of a 6-minute yoga session (I wish!)

[colberrrt]

She says to hold poses for a few breaths. She has just gone through the poses, not the full routine, so it would be a bit longer than 6 minutes.

[fabianabarberis]

I don't think you're right... I don't know so much about yoga but I did triathlon until two years ago and my personal trainer made me doing poses like those ones. For istance the plain pose.. is actually for your abdominals, instead of doing crunches. Jumps like those in this video make you loose weight like regular jumps which you can find in an aerobic lesson. I also gotta say that you start loosing weight after 20 minutes of jogging, this is a good workout especially when it's cold outside.

[Xanthosine]

American Council on Exercise : - "One 50-minute session of Hatha yoga burns just 144 calories, similar to a slow walk."

It's actually difficult to think of anything less likely to burn calories. Probably using a Wii burns as much. Face it: Stiles is a model / actress. She has no medical or fitness background. The only people losing calories watching this are guys "admiring the view".

[colberrrt]

I believe Hatha is a slower paced form of yoga, so people who are looking to lose weight would probably choose Ashtanga instead.

[lose40lbs]

Great Instructions

[DKfansown]

she makes it look so easy.

[tillyness]

I just repeated that routine 3 times and I feel like I just ran 2 miles or something xD. Quite the workout!

[soumyakuber]

i think she is amazing.. never seen a more motivating figure to lose all that flab in me heheh

[kssmith20]

somebody get that girl a hairtie!! :)

[hellosivakumaran]

thank you

[teddyribbon]

thts "surya namaskaram" (sun salutation).. really really good excers..

[GLADYSKENTE]

Yoga mate hurts everyweer

[iwalkalone912]

I only fell about 7 times.

:P

[serpentzara]

i've been doing yoga on and off since i was 17 but i can't learn those head stands and other hard movements, how do you learn them? The classes i went to just did thebasic stuff.

[madamerotten]

Isn't yoga a milk product? And don't they feed the cows antibiotics and hormones?

[rawrrrlauren]

That's yogURT.

[ashizzle0love]

not smart.

tsk...tsk

[nikkboniwell]

that's shocking. Like I could hav THE patience for this- she does the same moves about 70 times. She needs to come up with something a little bit mroe interesting

[cherryblossom813]

repitition is the best way to build muscle and flexability.

[nyclear]

Tara, What makes this yoga for weight loss? The pace is close to a cardio pace? The asanas? Please inform.

[DigitalMortician777]

The deep belly-breathing you are supposed to do in all forms of yoga speeds up the metabolism. It also strengthens the muscles which cause you to burn more calories 24/7. Hope that helps!

[mountaindew492]

she was going really fast, but it's a good excersize!

[Hamazan]

She´s doing yoga like a woodcutter. This sucks so much.

[cowgal16beccaroch]

wow your yoga made me soo tired haha. but i love it! i do it every day now haha.

[jamiecrystal1]

this workout sucks! how is she going to tell us to do somethibg (x6), but she isnt doing it? your supposed to be doing it along with her ????

[speakred]

She should have talked about how important breathing is, how for the movement to be effective you need to exhale as you go into down dog and you need to inhale when coming up from the forward bend so there isn't pressure on your lower back. Plus the proper deep breathing gets more oxygen to your muscles which will enable you to work harder for longer = more weight loss.

I hope no one get injured trying this!

[LKDelahunty]

She does explain that in her yoga for beginners. This is not meant for people who have never done yoga before.

[Sinderking]

And your yoga make me tried real good in the first day!

[Sinderking]

That's why you look so cute Tara! Keep going with your yoga videos.

[bluelorikeet]

role model *3*

[marcelaredon76]

thank you Tara!!, i already lost a couple of pounds!!

[bubblybeauty1223]

are you eating healthy too, or ar eyou JUST doing this yoga, morning, mid day, and night?

[bierschwaster]

hey, that was just an advice. I was just saying that if you eat less salty(tamasic food) and don't eat meat(rajasic food) and don't drink alcohol plus the work out and do the most of the things that you should do if you're going to practice yoga, then you'll start to lose weight and be healthier.

[11falloutgirl11]

this rutine really help me for my flexibility but i'm not really sure if i'm loosing weight

[bierschwaster]

maybe you're eating to many rajasic and tamasic food

[beanbag306player]

this is stupid. lol.

[Katata]

can u get rid of 5 pounds in 6 days with yoga?

[Sassafrassgirl13]

thats not healthy and i dont think anything but lipo can do that, Katata

~g

[Pancake0o]

No sports can give that effect. You'll only gain nasty stretch-marks mostly on your thighs and calves if you ever do lose that amount of weight that fast. Yep, no one seem to remember about these white scar-like marks, very hard to make go away ! Be sure to exercise reasonably on a regular basis. =)

[bbbm65]

can u explain that,.......... im trying to lose weight..

is the best way yoga??

[KatsuMacKinncheez]

no, its not, yoga is just stretching your muscles, the best way to lose weight is to simply cut sugars out of your diet, ( you have to watch out where those sugars are coming from and be careful about it) and follow the food guide closely. Getting your heartrate up to your recomended fat burning zone is important when you work out too,or else youll do alot of work with no weightloss.

[bbbm65]

SO if u want to lose weight and get fit, should u do yoga or pilates??

[Pancake0o]

I would suggest first jogging, because most of women's problems come from their thighs. Remember to stretch out at least 5-1o minutes before any physical activity, and then 15 minutes afterwards (or 15 min of yoga).

Losing weight doesn't mean not eating anymore, but eating right. 5 fruits and vegetables a day, try avoiding sodas and over-salty/sugary food.

Sports examples, to practise on a regular basis (2-3 hours spread out on a week) :

Jogging, gymnastics, bike, fitness, martial arts..

[Pancake0o]

Pilates and yoga are, in my opinion so please don't bash, complementary sports =) 1 horu a week if you have some extra time

[CatCommunication]

No bashing... But if you're going to practice yoga, you need to do more than just 1 hour a week. 15 minutes a day every day is better than 1 hour a week once a week. You're more likely to injure yourself if only practicing once a week.

[bbbm65]

thank you so much hunny, I really needed that!!

[Pancake0o]

You welcome =)

[bieflegit]

i cant touch my toes....

im a loserrrrr

[XoXoKB11]

Neithere can I,lol

[sakurabliss12]

the shirt is cool

[kittykat2k8]

how long would it take for all of your wight to go if you do this movement daily?

[ThatOne678]

I Think It Depends On How Much Weight You Tend To Lose.

Try Other Types Of Exercise .. Like Going To The Gym,

Depending On Where The Weight Is, Your Gunna Have To Do Different Exercise's ..LOL

Sorry I Dont Know Much About Weight Loss, Im On A Diet Myself..

Anyway .. Hope That Helped A Little Bit xD

[kittykat2k8]

hehe well am not fat exacle ive lost most of it bcoz it was bay fat but ma hips r still abit not gone and dat is holding the rest of ma wait if ya get wa i mean...

[ThatOne678]

[irmaa03]

shes amazing i love her

[al7alay]

the background is awsome!

[VUandChips]

It's like...how much more white could this background be?...and the answer is non...none more white.

[sexynortherngirl]

Thanks, we will try it.

Any suggestions for doing yoga with a toddler?

[mikimon1118]

I love Tara's yoga!

This helps me a lot.

[allyjewl]

they wear short shorts so they can move around easier.. longer shorts would restrict there movement.. plus it looks cute :)

[pinkbecky]

Why do they always wear such short shorts??

[anthroptics]

Long shorts are too restricting for yoga. You CAN wear longer shorts, but they will hold you back.

[fordmodels]

Go to Zazzle dot Com and search Tara Stiles, they might have a guys version.

[cartergreenbaum]

I love your shirt tara! where did you get it? Do you have a guys version? That can kinda be a guys version?

[guitar401]

DAMN!

I want to be with her!

[thatoneguyjosh]

will you go out with me lol

[dptxmom]

I just found this by mistake. Does anyone know if she has any DVD out?

[fordmodels]

You can download them as podcasts.

[CordieCat]

What's a podcast? (I must be out of the loop or something.)

[TongueAndFootLover]

I've always liked her feet.

[kidgumbo2]

I use this video to shalack the old glacknoid!

[ThoseEyesAreLove]

...what?lol

[artemisfair]

I think that's gross-idiot speak for "I watch this video while I masturbate."

[Tazwegian]

it takes alot of self discipline not to.

[JijiKutie]

this is a great video! please dont delete it. i need to lose weight!

[SeanButt]

drrrooooooooooooool

[kickinfit]

I would love to get the cute pink yoga tank she's wearing. Does anyone know where it's from? melissa

[sneakythecarbear]

you can get her shirt on line at zazzle search tara stiles there

[sarasarsora]

Omg,, didn't know it was so hard,, it looks so easy! ^^

[FoalGirl]

She makes it seem so easy! O. o this is a really good workout though. Thanks for the video!

[mustgt501]

Does anyone know where the tank top is from?  I would love to get one, Melissa

[ameliorate]

Oh man. Tara makes this look so easy, but I was breathing hard and starting to feel tired after just one full run-through--& I've always thought I was in good shape. (Although in my own defense, I have about the weakest arms in the universe, so all of the downward dogs really took their toll haha.) But I'll definitely be adding this to my routine; I've been looking for a way to change things up a bit & also work in some informal yoga. Thanks for the video, Tara.

[orangutanmad]

i know!! i woz dooing it and wot compeatly out of breath (sort of) after dooing one!! well, i think ive got a good shape, but im looking for something that would make me relax a bit, but this got me compleatley energy full, and i am DEFINATELLY gonna use it after the crimboh holls!! tnx Tara!!

[Xxmalice667]

O_o

[cholland70]
