will yoga reduce weight - #24767

Siddharth

I am feeling really frustrated with my attempts at losing weight, and I keep wondering, will yoga reduce weight? I started practicing yoga about three months ago because I’ve heard so many benefits from friends, but honestly, I’m not sure if I'm seeing any changes. I actually enjoy the classes—the breathing, the stretching, it feels good—but I’m not sweating buckets the way I do when I go for a run or hit the gym. I used to run a lot, but I hurt my knee last year, and that’s why I turned to yoga. I've been trying to manage my diet too, but my cravings seem to be winning a lot of the time. Someone told me that yoga helps with mindfulness and can actually help people eat better, but I’m kinda skeptical. Will yoga really reduce weight? I mean, like, is there some kind of scientific backing to this or is it just a myth? I want to combine yoga with other strategies, but not sure if it’s worth it. Anyone had success with this? Like, did you notice any changes in your weight while doing yoga? I don't know, maybe I'm just not doing the right poses or something... Any insights would help!
