Yoga is great, but can it help you lose weight? Sure can, says Sarah Brown at That's Fit.ca. The best type of yoga for shedding pounds, she says, is the technique that combines a cardiovascular workout with strength building and flexibility. Try vinyasa-style (either Bikram/Hot Yoga or Ashtanga) and watch the weight melt away. Don't forget a healthy diet, though -- exercising and junk food just don't work well together.
