"Hi, my name is Ashley Ludman from Seaside Yoga. And today the question is, how do you lose weight with yoga? Well, that's a puzzle piece of sorts. So the yoga asanas will help you to create a foundation for increased awareness, increased strength, increased flexibility within your body, and it also helps to promote increased in the digestive system, increased in circulatory benefits. The other piece of losing weight with yoga is, to take the consciousness, and the mindfulness that you've cultivated through your asana practice, off of the mat, into the rest of your life. So that when you go out for lunch or dinner with friends, you become aware of what your body is saying. You know if it says, " I don't need those french fries", order a small salad. Be conscious of every thing and every choice that you make, and that's how you'll be able to start integrating the principles of yoga into your daily life. So it's a combination of continuing your physical practice of asana, you'll definitely see benefits in your digestive system, as well as the other systems. And then making those same conscious mindful choices when you are preparing to eat and preparing for the rest of your choices throughout the day. So that's how you lose weight with yoga."
