People often ask me, "Will doing yoga make me lose weight?" I always counter with, "What's the figure like of a yoga teacher?" Every yoga teacher I've seen, or every friend who practices yoga regularly, has a figure that elicits a "wow!"-even a perfectly shaped Coke bottle would pale in comparison. Yoga won't make you lose weight instantly, but with persistence, your physique will gradually change. This is because yoga focuses on "correct posture," correcting posture while reducing cellulite around muscles, achieving a "sculpted body" effect; it also helps eliminate toxins and boost metabolism. You can do yoga while listening to music, watching TV, or even chatting. Once you become more beautiful, your body and mind will be filled with positive energy.
