there are like so many more effective ways for losing weight than yoga.

I'm really overweight so I don't want to damage my body

>doing yoga to lose weight
>I want to lose a lot of weight
Ask me how I know you're not going to make it.

inb4 "yoga can be exercise!"
Yeah but only if you're really focusing on utilizing specific muscles, in which case you're still better off doing real exercise. Ain't nobody getting DOMS from child's pose.

Any recommendations?

Read the sticky.

Do cardio(power walking or treadmills count) or swimming, both are non damaging and burn more calories than yoga.

Then watch your caloric intake and service portions of what you eat.

Let me guess, you are a fat fucking bitch.

Also, keto is a meme, but it is a really good diet for recovering fatties. Helped me lose 90 lbs back in 2014. With other diets I was hungry and irritated all the time, this shit helped me a lot.
Just be sure to get your fibers, preferably from leafy vegetables or psyllium husk.

Start strength training and some moderate cardio (walking or stationary bike won't fuck your body up).

Good luck.

I went from 270->170 size 42 to size 30 in about 18 months just by doing simple shit like balancing my diet, doing extra cardio, cutting out soda/sweet drinks, and keeping my calories in check.

I did weights as well but nothing outside some 15/25/35lbs barbells, just a little extra goes a long way so long as you maintain a diet.

I love yoga, but hit's not training. it's stretching, relaxation and light cardio. Personally I think it complements heavy lifting quite well.

If you're very serious about yoga and do it for hours every day then I guess you'll get in decent shape eventually, but it would be a very inefficient way to do it.

I've decided to keep my yoga routine and do calorie watching and cardio that's gentle for my body.
