Yoga is an effective treatment for obesity through managing the mind and reducing cravings, increasing exercise through asanas and pranayama, and regulating digestion and metabolism through diet and meditation. Specific yoga practices target excess abdominal fat and weight in other areas. Regular yoga practice can help maintain weight loss through improved willpower, stress management, and making exercise a sustainable habit. Yoga also addresses underlying emotional or psychological causes that may contribute to overeating.
