Diet and exercise two main factors comes to our mind when we think about to lose an excessive amount of fat. And before we get into the best types of yoga to lose weight, let's look at why yoga is actually so successful in helping you loose those extra pounds.

To lose weight, you want to reduce the calories you take in and increase the calories yoga poses you burn. You can expect to lose 5-10 pounds of weight (sometimes more) in the first week, then consistent weight loss after that. This yoga style makes use of temperate poses.

However, one advantage of yoga is that many adopt a yogic lifestyle, which commonly promotes eating a healthy, often plant-based, diet, highlight stress relief, and promote a physically active life outside of the yoga classes. Hatha has a very low calorie burn, so I don't recommend devoting your entire practice to hatha if you want to lose weight.

Calories burned during yoga vary widely — from 180 to 360 per hour — depending on the type of yoga you practice. Yoga considered being more of aerobic exercise burns less calories during the workout compared to other strenuous workouts which are as effective.
