A member asked:
I am wondering if doing yoga is releasing toxins and making me sick. is this a possibility?

Probably not: Losing weight can sometimes release the build-up of toxins stored in fat, but they usually simply exit the body without effect. Massive weight loss may be a different story but there is no good science to validate one way or another.
