YOGA FOR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

Yoga can help with management of weight, but it's not the "burn calories" approach. In yoga, we approach health through mindfulness. We start with acceptance of the body that we have, with all it's oddities, imbalances and perceived imperfections. Yoga should feel great, whatever body shape, size, age, gender you have. When you feel good in your body, you might find, almost indirectly, that you begin to make small, positive lifestyle changes, but in yoga we follow a long term, self-acceptance model. It's a forgiving practice in that we can just keep coming back to it. The blogs below may help to clarify how the yoga philosophy fits with ideas like yoga for weight loss and yoga for belly fat.
