  1. As a medical professional… There is an element of Yoga that does induce weight loss. The activation of uncommonly used muscles to hold yoga poses requires a good amount of caloric energy. This accompanied with hormonal production biologically associated with excercise can induce weight loss. The "trick" to it is constant progression … By that I mean steady increase of difficulty. If your body aclimates to it, you will regress in weight loss. Diet is also important but there is a lot to be said for the effectiveness of yoga in assisting in weight loss. It's also, in my opinion, THE MOST effective way to begin exercising after extended periods of inactivity. It can help "prepare" your body for the challenges of more rigorous exercise.

    Keep up the awesome work guys!

  2. Okay but I Litterally do three 25 minute yoga sessions a day and dropped 3 dress sizes in a few months… never changed my diet as I was already eating healthy so it's worked for me….

  3. Honestly tho, it’s not one size fits all, like you say. I’ve seen stories and have friends who have lost weight doing only yoga. But it doesn’t mean it works for everyone.

  4. I am a beginner for yoga. Not flexible at all. I wanted to see if you could truly lose weight by doing yoga. I heard that you can but it’s much slower process than if you were to workout and lift weights daily instead. So glad I found your video to help clear up my answers.

  5. Ya but this is still not a satisfying explanation because I wanted to have addressed the actual workout of an intense yoga flow class where you come out sweating and I always wonder how much calories I burnt (approximate) — I know it depends on how each person put into it but I think there is actual calorie burning part that occurs and your muscles get toned and lifted — which is related to fat burning?, fitness? and therefore some weight loss… I mean I get that you cant be eating 10 hamburgers and do a 30 min yoga class and expect to loose weight but I wasnt satisfied with the yoga as just a compliment to weight loss plan answer because I think I do believe depending on how hard you do your yoga, there is actually an intense calorie burn part to it as well??

  6. I currently have CFS, and recovering slowly. I use very gentle yoga when I feel I can. Even just gentle stretches, but sometimes it makes me feel a bit poorly, maybe I’m doing a bit too much, or maybe I’m releasing bad energy 🙏🏻

  7. I think it depends on the type of yoga and your personal fitness level. I was kickboxing twice a week and working out another additional 4 times a week and Bryan Kest's power yoga videos from the 90s (on youtube) still kicked my behind, heart racing, muscles burning, sore the next day, kicked my butt. This is too subjective to be the final word on this, sorry, yoga can help you torch massive calories and build muscle which in turn torches calories. Yes, you can do yoga for weight loss.

  12. That was your informative article, here are a few more tips on how to get fit with yoga…
    Take a deep breath out: Often we equate yoga with some tough poses. And aren't you sometimes concerned that: "I can't even touch my toes, how can I do yoga?" Yoga is not about touching your toes, or stretching 98 degrees to your north-east. It’s a simple process of uniting with yourself – using your breath, body and the mind. And it’s easy and effortless.
    Take the Experts Help to Learn Yoga: If you have a medical condition, inform your yoga instructor prior to the commencement of the training. It will help the teacher customize your yoga posture practice.
    Simple wearing, high thinking: Wear comfortable clothing while going for the yoga class or when practicing yoga at home. Also, avoid wearing belts or excessive jewellery as it could get in the way of yoga practice.
    A lighter stomach aids to your yoga practice: It is a good idea to practice on an empty stomach or at least 2-3 hours after your last meal. Also It is advised to at least have 3 or 4 litres of water during the day as it will help you to flush out the toxins out of the body which are released during your yoga practice.
    Smile to take you through the miles: See the difference for yourself. Keeping a gentle smile relaxes the body and mind and helps you enjoy the yoga postures much more.

  13. There are a few factors in yoga for reducing weight. One plan I discovered which successfully combines these is the Betwans Yoga Blog (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the most useful resource that I've seen. Check out all the super info .

  14. I've seen the "yoga for weight-loss" title many times here on youtube. I agree that it's somehow misleading, it's true that it's virtually impossible to out-yoga or even out-cardio a poor diet. However some of the vedic texts allthough vague, have some guidelines for how yogis should eat. I do my morning yoga fasted and I eat mostly low fat raw vegan afterwards for that natural high and good digestion of course…
