Yoga seems to be a cure-all for so many ailments, not just a remedy for weight loss. It really seems to empower people mind, body and soul. Try it!

i practise yoga almost all my life, i am 58 and still very flexible. But i have to say i was a classic ballet danser too. These exercises i also still do. My BM is 19 and i feel great. i don t smoke, stopped drinking alcohol, for this i lost another 2 kg.
I advise people to read and learn more about yoga, you will understand the poses better. For me yoga is not a sport, but a way of living.
