Why do you think yoga is great for weight loss?6

While yoga may be good for things like flexibility, it's not something I would go to for weight loss.5

Handstand and armstand poses are rhe best for weight loss because you can't eat while doing them..37

Probably the one where you're not holding pizza and beers above your head.8

As long as you keep them above your head, they won't cause you to gain body fat.6 -

It doesn't work that way (or we would all be thin).
Yoga can help people reduce stress and perhaps get a better night's sleep. This can help with weight loss because less stress is good.
Yoga can help with flexibility, range of motion and balance. Feeling good allows you to (encourages you to) move more. Moving more is good.
Yoga is not a big calorie burner, but the time spent doing yoga is time you don't spend eating (or thinking about) food.4 -

There's a difference between helping with a situation and solving it completely. Things that help are good even if they're not the entirely of the solution. That's where it's at.6 -

OP, with apologies for making jokes at Motorsheen on your thread: I think the above is a great, true answer. Props to TeaBea.
Yoga is a wonderful thing for our bodies. It can play a very helpful role in our weight loss: Stress reduction, mild calorie-burning, flexibility that helps our energy level and performance of other forms of exercise, body awareness, improved insight into how what we eat affects our physicality, and more.
Well-thought-out yoga routines (not just individual asanas) can build agility, ease, and have other benefits, in ways that people who don't practice regularly will never quite imagine.
That said, there's really no "magic asana", I'm convinced. Finding a path to nutritious, calorie-appropriate eating is the core issue . . . and the calorie part is the main thing, for weight management. Yoga can help you, but most of us need more than yoga, and many succeed without yoga at all (their loss
).
Best wishes!
P.S., same for Chi Kung, Tai Chi, etc. Help in subtle but potentially influential (for some) ways, but no magic, sadly.2 -

Yeap1 -
I did a dvd program called Hardbody yoga (Tari Rose) that really got me started. Not sure what the yoga purists think but it did tone me up and I dropped some pounds in the process1
