Yoga for weight-loss
Question:
You know what the biggest misconception is? People assume, if your overweight you eat too much, and not if your overweight you’ve EATEN too much. See granted at one point it is true, you ate too much, but if cutting down and sticking to staple foods is all one needs to shed kilos then I’d like to know why Tae Bo cassettes are selling like mad! The fact is this, cutting down will only prevent further gain, it won’t erase what is already there … so you said Yoga can … good. Just had to clear up that misconception nearly everone in the world has. 
Response:
sounds like a plan!

I don’t know that much about Yoga and I won’t join a class … I just thought I may be able to do it at home. I already ‘meditate’ I think, I just relax, close my eyes, and belly to chest breath just monitoring my breath thinking nothing. Very calming.

I lost 30 lbs in the first 3 months doing Bikram Yoga. Just about a class a day. This is Yoga done in a heated room. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Hello, Can Yoga be used to lose weight, if so please enlighten me. Thankyou.

Response:
Your intuition is sound — classes most often are nothing more than the hopeful attempting to lead the ignorant (which you might not be; who were you in previous lives?). Stay healthy and modest.
Response:

A Communist journalist killed in the Spanish Civil War; before that, a teacher in Europe, died falling off a castle wall in Austria; before that, a Prussian cadet; before that, maybe an extended period of consideration, and before that, a magistrate in France during and after the Revolution. At various times in the past, a Viking navigator, a Mongol, a minor acolyte at the shrine of the Sybill of Cumae, a chanteyman on a ship in the Indian Ocean, a schizophrenic nun in northern France, etc. etc. Nothing special, but many lessons learned, many contacts made. For those who’ve been around a few times, the world is full of old friends. Crow

I lost weight when I finally decided I didn’t care about my weight and was interested in my health. Yoga was part of this, and it works. You will become more in touch with your body, and will be less likely to want to eat garbage food. My body is in its best shape ever, even from when I was doing hours of strenuous aerobics a week. Now I just do yoga and walk a lot.

Iyengar states that all of the standing poses will lead to weight loss, I have experienced such a result. Shoulder stands will stimulate the thyroid which may also help. L.M.

You can lose weight doing some forms of yoga like Ashtanga. Or you could make a pretty hefty workout with repeated Sun Salutations for 20-45minutes a day. However, to do either of these requires a certain level of training under a qualified teacher. You probably won’t lose weight as a beginner unless yoga is an adjunct to an already established cardio program.

Yoga can be used for weight loss if you are participating in Ashtanga or you could do 20-45minutes of Sun Salutations daily. However, both of these options require a certain level of physical accomplishment under the teaching of a qualified instructor which can take 6 weeks to a year depending on where you are when you begin yoga, any injuries or diabilities, etc. You probably won’t lose much weight doing Hatha alone as a beginner.

Power yoga uses an incredible number of calories. Videos to try are Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss with Suzanne Deason and Mark Blanchard’s Power Yoga videos. They are a true workout! Bryan Kest has some wonderful videos like "Tone" which can help too. One has to do yoga regularly to see a benefit. http://www.yoga.com has videos. Namaste, Shannon

Yoga can be used to lose weight if you are practicing a vigourous form such as Ashtanga. You could also do 20-45 minutes of Sun Salutations daily. Both of these options require a certain level of understanding and physical ability as far as yoga asanas and vinyasas are concerned. If you are a beginner you probably won’t lose too much weight doing yoga alone. GStanger
