Yoga for Weight Loss: Can yoga really help you to lose weight?

I’ve had a couple of questions on yoga for weight loss this week, and how yoga can help you to lose weight.

The short answer is that yes, yoga will definitely help you to lose weight. However, most types of yoga aren’t “sweat to lose” exercise programs. (Although Bikram and Ashtanga yoga do make you sweat. )

As I said in this article Yoga Poses for Easy Weight Loss | Easy Fab Yoga:

“Unlike other forms of exercise, yoga isn’t primarily an exercise routine; it’s a way of achieving balance by uniting your mind and body with your spirit. The word ‘yoga’ comes from a Sanskrit word meaning, ‘to tie, unite, balance.’

So while the goal of any yoga practice isn’t explicitly to lose weight, this is one of the effects. Overweight is a sign that your system is out of balance, yoga brings it back into balance.

If you suspect that you’re overweight because you have emotional issues, yoga will help you resolve them. You don’t have to do anything special. As you practice, the poses releases deep emotions buried in your body’s tissues.”

Yoga, if you keep it up for several months, changes you. It’s subtle. You’ll stop craving junk food. Magically, you’ll start to want to put real, healthy food into your body.

Your personality will change too — you’ll become a more centered person, because you’ll have a new and much better relationship with your body.

So yes, yoga can definitely help you to lose weight, and the benefits enhance your entire life.
