Yoga for weight loss


Posted by mariannah t.

Hey, I'm Maria, am new here. I just needed motivation to lose weight. It's an ongoing war between me and my third scale ;). Cant use the gym due to an old injury. I just wanted to know if yoga is a good option to lose weight. My friend uses yoga mainly for fitness and toning and said it definitely does help in losing weight. Is there any programme or video online which I can use to learn yoga to lose weight?

Hi Maria,

I'm a big believer of yoga for weight loss. It works for lots of reasons, but mostly I think it helps us to slow down and become more aware of our unhealthy behaviors. I had a yoga teacher tell me years ago that all I needed to do was to keep doing the yoga and the unhealthy habits would melt away without struggle and she was right! I have a website with lots of information about yoga, developing a home practice and suggested books and dvds. You can check it out at www.nourishing-yoga.com

it's a lovely website. It helped me get started on what I was looking for. I was muddling through all that information. I have shortlisted a couple of sites, yours and http://www.zendle.com

There are videos and pictures online. There's even a yogapedia for all th eyoga related questions I'd like to know. Thanks again for the help and I'll be in touch as soon as I decide and start my sessions.
