    I borrowed a DVD from the library a while back that had a good structure to it and was specifically for weight loss. It started with some sun salutations but then moved into lots of standing and twisting asanas and finished off with shoulder stand. No idea what it's called I'm afraid! I know it used a lot of triangle and warrior type moves though.
  • I tried Bikram yoga for two weeks and lost eight pounds. It was amazing. I learned a lot about my body, how to push it and how to just rest when I know I've had too much. That's when I started really looking at the food I was eating too. You can tell I've had a burrito that day if I'm doing poorly in class! I would also drink almost two gallons of water a day. While it was grueling, I actually want to purchase a whole year of it. I felt so strong afterward!

    I am doing Bikram Yoga and Hot power yoga. My God you will sweat perfusely, so much so I end up drinking close to 5 cups of water. I take classes close to where I live, I bought the student pack which came out to $13 a class.

    I'm not sure if any of you are interested, but I'm trying to get people together for a 30-Day Yoga Challenge. I posted here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/341007-30-day-yoga-challenge-are-you-in
