What if I’m overweight?
Yoga is so much more than a weight-loss program, but it has helped many people shed extra pounds, even some who have spent years trying to slim down in other ways without success. Studies show that a complete yoga program – asana, breathing techniques, and meditation – can peel off the pounds. The regular practice of yoga also helps you become more sensitive to what’s going on inside your body – this awareness helps you detect not only whether, say, your hamstring is tight but also whether your stomach is already full. Many people find that practicing yoga helps them feel better about themselves, regardless of the shape or condition of their body!
