can yoga really help you lose weight?

[savy57]

i got a new yoga dvd before xmas just done it tonight for 1st time it was just a 10 min session for beginners but all i done was streatch so can anybody explain how this could help with weightloss
replys much appreciated

I've never seen a yoga dvd selling itself as aiding weightloss.
And if it was only 10 mins that's not going to burn any calories or build muscle sufficiently to speed up your metabolism.
It's good for mobility and relaxation, though. Worth doing if you enjoy it and feel better afterwards.

thanks for the replys thats what i was thinking think i will stick to the shred dvd n will keep the yoga up to just to help with the positives use have mentioned above thank you
