Happened to chance upon your post regarding the book and decided to get a copy. Thanks for the recommendation. Found Chopra's philosophy insightful and an interesting read.
I also recommend you read Deepak Chopra's Seven Spiritual Law of Yoga to have some understanding of yogic science. Doing yoga for losing weight is a good start. As you go along, you'll find that the benefits you gain is much much more than that (if it is done holistically).
Decided to pick up yoga again. No signs of weight loss :gloomy: :skeptical: but at least feel less achy all over.

Weight loss... how about 16 rounds of rapid sun salutation a day, sure to sweat.

How to do sun salutations?

How to do sun salutations?
A bit hard to describe as there are many poses involved. Can go online or youtube to get an idea.
If u are a beginner, best to sign up with a class so that the yoga teacher is able to guide you and correct your postures. -
Yes, it is better to go for a yoga class and learn the steps from the experienced person. My friend got back pain and neck pain after doing yoga on her own. I think some of her postures were not correct and she strained her neck and back in a wrong way. An experienced person can guide you as well as he / she can explain the consequences if you do the postures wrongly.
Another thing is that if you have back pain or neck pain (severe), you can not do the postures that require backward bending. -

You are so much much more discipline than me. I need to go to class to kick my butt to do. That's why I have to go for class.
My BMI is okay so I'm just doing for overall wellbeing and also to help my dd to learn Yoga. She attends lesson with me but she is so busy so we can only afford to go once a week. -
Yoga together with DD sounds like fun
Where do you go?
Can Share?
