Hey Jillie,
Here's my thoughts on this.... as Heather already stated, if you go to a vigorous yoga class (ie, an astanga, vinyasa, power class, etc) you will probably sweat a bit (or a lot) and get a good "workout" if that's what you are looking for. Personally, I can't think of anything better than a challenging (yet compassionate) yoga class that opens & strengthens my body, heart & mind but I am biased.
However, Yoga is not a quick fix and it is a practice that requires commitment and consistency. There are some yoga classes that will focus on stretching and relaxation and those are just as important... so long story short is.... find a class that you like, start to be aware of not only the yoga and your breathing etc, but also what you are putting in your body (something that ususally naturally occurs with a yoga practice over time) and I would say that you will probably start to see a difference in your body. Just watch out for that dairy!
let me know how it goes.
peace,
k
