Can you lose weight doing yoga? I've heard this question so many times from my students. The answer based on the research done so far is Yes. In this book I discuss the research which confirms that practicing yoga can help you lose weight and prevent weight gain which is typical when approaching middle age. This book is also about the importance of proper breathing, postures and meditation, to help achieve weight loss goals. The 40 illustrated exercises are divided into three sections: exercises to lose weight and tone up the various parts of the body, exercises for the colon, and exercises for the 1st and 4th chakra.
