What's the best type of yoga for losing weight and toning body? Does yoga even help your body?
Answer by Betty B
Wear something comfortable (I would go with short leggings and a tank top). If you have anxiety, use the yoga class to relax mentally and physically with meditation, breathing and stretching. To lose weight, eat healthy and do aerobics exercises (anything that makes you sweat and breathe hard) for 3,500 calories for each pound of fat reserves that you wish to lose. To tone your body, do calisthenics, using your own body as weight (like doing crunches, push-ups, squats, lunges…) and using small weights (like doing dumbbells curls, triceps extensions, leg extensions…).
