Does anyone do yoga and does it help in weight loss?

Hi Christy,
I think it does help in weight loss. To me, any exercise you enjoy doing is the best one. I like yoga. I started out with a DVD called Yoga Weight Loss for Dummies. That was a really good start for me, not too difficult, but the pace was quick and it did keep the heart rate going. Some forms of cardio are for sure going to burn more calories, but I really think it boils down to what you enjoy doing is what you will keep on doing.

I absolutely love yoga but it didn't help me lose weight. It did, however, make me more aware of my body and made me want to treat it better. The best thing about yoga is you are able to fully stretch and lengthen and open your body in ways your daily routine does not allow. My favorite type of yoga is ashtanga, which is "power yoga" and is a 90 minute workout. I'm sure if I would have been watching my food intake more I probably would have lost weight - but that's why I'm here, right? Give yoga a try, you might love it!
