Re: Can Yoga help you lose weight?       04/07/03 03:08 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Yes, if you're doing routines that are aerobic. That will burn calories (and also build muscle, which will raise your metabolism even when you're resting). I've never experienced a more grueling workout than some of my yoga classes - I've literally had sweat running down my arms and face and dripping onto the floor. This was in intermediate level classes, in any type of style that really gets you moving (hatha, vinyassa, ashtanga). On the other hand, there are classes that emphasize stretching and passive poses, and those don't work up a sweat at all so it's hard to see that you'd lose weight from that. One tip...check out all the advanced students and teachers in a yoga class. They're always in incredible shape! - Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
