I have been practicing yoga for a long time. In Taiwan a lot of people think yoga can help you to lose weight and treat it as an exercise. I think Yoga is indeed an exercise but it's more for the mind rather than for the body. You don't lose weight on doing yoga, you just get toner and stronger body, more flexible and calmer spiritually. I had great trouble doing yoga before because my mind was always so busy and yoga just felt so boring. Every yoga pose has a purpose for your inner organs and the breathing helped the mind. These days I go to gym and do two classes a week with everyone and on top of that everymorning I get up at 5:30 am and do 10 mins or yoga before going bed to sleep for another 30 mins. Today I finally realised how good it could be. I couldn't remember when was the last time I got sick. My body is always warm that I never need to wear much clothes. I sleep very well everyday and I will consider myself quite a happy person and able to control my emotion if I choose to. Maybe yoga is worth the try if you haven't tried it.
