I love to walk outside but I need an activity I can do indoors when its too cold to walk. I want to lose weight and be healthy, would Yoga be a good thing for that? I have heard it helps you lose weight, then I have heard its mostly for toning and reengerizing your mind and body. Which is it? Or does it do it all? Thanks.

My school has lots of clubs but none of them appeal to me so a couple of my friends and I have considered creating a yoga club, as we love yoga and doesn’t everyone else? What would you think if some kids at your school started a yoga club? What would you think of them?
Why would you make fun of them?

I want to start practicing at home, in the mornings. But most of the yoga podcasts I have been able to find move much to fast for me.

I want to start doing yoga at home. Can anyone reconmend someone really good for relaxing and toning? Please tell me your experiance.

The gym I am going to start going to has fitness classes in both pilates and yoga. What’s the general difference between the two and which one is more effective?

Also, is yoga something that you need to be in shape already to start? In other words, do they work you into it, or it will it kick your butt if you’re a little out of shape?
What exactly does it do for you?

I am willing to start making some exercise, but i cannot make my mind if i should try yoga or go to a gym.
I have never done any sport, i’m bad with that, and i believe i have not a good physical condition, altougth i’m not fat or anything like that.
I am just convinced that i need to make something with my body for healt, and because my work is mostly sitted in front of my computer, and as much as i like it, i know it’s stressing.

Hello everyone, I want to try Yoga for the first time. I’m seriously out of shape, having lots of muscle aches and I’m suffering from severe depression. I’ve hear the many great benefits from Yoga; I don’t know where to start. What beginners DVD would you recommend for me?

I’d like one that not only covers the basic poses, but covers some of the history of yoga & explains the benefits of the poses.

What books you recommend for an absolute beginner?

My mom really likes yoga after reading so much about it from books she bought, and she would really like to try it some time. However, the problem is that she had undergone kidney transplant, which sort of complicates things. Therefore would yoga be appropriate for people that have undergone kidney transplant, and if it is, what postures are to be avoided, or can be done?
she has consulted her doctor and her doctor asked her to go ahead..

When starting a new fitness activity, it’s natural to wish for immediate results. Once I make yoga a part of my weekly routine, how soon should I expect to feel the benefits?

I need to strengthen everything, but as I have started to work out I get tighter & tighter. What little I have read about yoga is that it helps flexibility and core fitness. I am now in the obese column, should I wait until I am a little less fat?

I am looking for a non-fussy exercise that I can do at home. I would like to sweat a little from it, but the main thing is that I exercise my muscles safely (not interested in muscle building). I have tried a little bit of yoga, and I really liked how I felt afterwards. I really like the stretching, and breathing aspects. But, I am a Christian, and the spiritual aspect of yoga;the fact that it’s leaning toward Eastern religion, bothers me (no offense to those who believe it). Thanks for your answers!

These two types of Yoga are so different, is it beneficial to do both or do you focus on only one? Kundalini is far more aggressive in it’s physical approach but also has more chanting. Very different from Hatha Yoga! But I enjoy both approaches.

What do the Yoga experts say?

What types of Yoga would be good for soccer? I know there are different types but am not entirely sure which to try that would best suited for physical fitness for soccer performance. Thanks in advance.
