Yoga is a great way to increase your overall fitness and potentially lose weight. Some styles of yoga lend themselves to a real aerobic workout, thereby increasing your metabolic rate and helping you lose weight. If this is your goal, try Power yoga or Ashtanga yoga. Power Yoga is a high intensity yoga that is done in a warm room. The poses are connected with vinyasa’s that are designed to get you breathing harder. Ashtanga yoga is also a faster yoga style that is focuses on Sun Salutations and connecting vinyasa’s. It may be done in a warm room and is also designed increase the heart rate. Increasing your heart rate and your metabolic rate will increase the number of calories you consume. Excess calories are what cause you to gain weight, so the goal of any weight loss regime should be to either decrease the number of calories you consume or increase you metabolic weight.
Also eating healthier may also help you lose weight. Try following the yogic lifestyle – particularly the yogic diet of strict vegetarianism. More fruits and vegetables will help balance out your diet and may reduce the number of calories you take in.
Also, don’t expect the same results as you would if you were running or swimming. The effects from yoga may take a little longer, but will be more longer lasting.
