What is the best form of yoga for me to start doing to lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not the best : Exercise to lose weight. Yoga is good for balance and to improve coordination. Weight loss requires creating a negative caloric balance. A negative balance of 4500 calories will lead to loss of one pound. You should restrict caloric intake and engage in increasingly vigorous physical activity (easier said than done) see this site for additional info. http://www.webmd.com/diet/guide/choosing-weight.
