Before we begin, let’s get one thing out of the way: weight is not a problem. No one is starving or depressed because they are fat. Obesity is not a disease or a condition to be fought with medicine or surgery. So, if you have done yoga (or at least learned about it), then you’re probably thinking, “That sounds great! I’ve always wanted to try some of those benefits for weight loss. But I don’t want to give up my yoga practice.”
