Yoga has been around for centuries but in the past few years a new type of yoga for weight loss has emerged. It focuses on poses that burn calories, reduce stress, and increase metabolism, which is fantastic, except that yoga burns a minimal amount of calories per hour compared to other types of exercise. So what would it take for a yoga program to really work as a weight loss solution? Incorporating the mental and spiritual part of it that yoga is all about and Yoga for Weightloss does that and so much more. It empowers women to feel good, and to care about themselves enough to make the changes necessary to lose weight permanently.

Yoga for Weightloss Plan
After years of struggling with her weight and trying all types of diet and exercise programs Celia Hawe, author of Yoga for Weightloss, designed a program that addresses the most important aspects of weight loss. For years Celia lost only to regain the weight. She also observed many of the members at the health club she managed experiencing the same type of weight cycling frustration. She eventually discovered that weight loss isn’t simply a physical journey but a mental and spiritual one as well. In her book, Yoga for Weightloss, Celia discusses various obstacles that keep you from losing weight permanently. She then teaches you the yoga poses and explains how each pose empowers you physically, mentally, and spiritually so that you can overcome each of those obstacles and be successful at losing the weight. Once you have read through all the factors affecting your weight and learned all the poses Celia teaches you a simple way of eating and outlines a 4 week workout and diet plan that gets you losing and feeling good about your efforts.

Why It Works
Yoga for Weightloss is about balance. It teaches you to lose weight from the inside out rather than from the outside in. The best part of the program is the feeling of control and sense of accomplishment that you get each time you exercise. It even addresses what to do if you fall off the wagon, which is something that happens to even the most determined dieters and exercisers.
