Can yoga help me loose weight?

Yoga is does not burn as many calories as aerobic exercise, but can help you loose weight through balancing the bodies hormones and metabolism and by exercising and toning the body's muscles and internal organs. For a yoga practice that helps to burn more calories try Ashtanga or Power Yoga.

 

Ahimsa, the yogic practice of non violence must be adhered to when engaging in the practice of hatha yoga. Respect your body's limitations and inner wisdom, if something feels wrong or dangerous, please do not do it.

Please consult your health care practitioner before starting a yoga, pranayama or other exercise program.
