Can yoga a form of weight loss exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can be: Yoga is good for the mind and body. It does not burn off as many calories as weight lifting, running, etc. It could be easily combined with other forms of physical activity and dietary restriction into a healthy weight loss program.
