From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga
Fat burning has become a popular catch phrase in marketing classes at the gym and exercise videos. Most people who are seduced by the idea of burning fat just want to lose weight or tone their bodies. See where yoga can fit into this equation.

Is Yoga Effective for Fat Burning?
The answer depends on what kind of yoga you do and how often you do it. If you want to lose weight using yoga as your primary workout, you are going to need to commit to a fast-paced practice, ideally every day. Another option is to use yoga as part of your overall weight loss plan but not count on getting the bulk of your cardio at yoga class.

Share Your Yoga Weight Loss Story
Have you tried yoga as part of your attempt to lose weight? Did it work or not? Share your story about yoga and weight loss, whether positive or negative.

Yoga for the Overweight
If you are extremely overweight or obese, you can still benefit from yoga.

There you will see a silhouette of Mr. Iyengar himself in a variation of king dancer. This iconic posture is equal parts balance, strength, and flexibility.
