Hasn't any...Love the Dalai Lama joke up above. Hasn't anyone here done hot yoga? It's kinda gimmicky (yoga purists will say that, at least), but you'll definitely feel like you've worked out after spending 90 minutes sweating out half your body weight as you go through vigorous, challenging poses at a good clip. I do it in the winter because my apartment is freezing and so the warm room gives me a reason to keep on living. In the summer I mix up vinyasa yoga with my other routines of running, biking, lifting, etc. With those routines you work & train your muscles. With yoga you do the same, but you also get them all attached to your bones (and your breath and your mind!) in a good, healthy way.<br /><br />I have the AM/PM yoga DVD and I find it nice and mellow and meditative. But for an actual workout, try Rodney Yee or one of those perky gals on Exercise.tv.<br /><br />Great blog! Always love it.<br /><br />(Also, just sayin', but the word I need to 'verify' on this post is "viashil," which sounds vaguely dirty to me.)Convertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-11859131330428297682009-08-12T00:25:53.585-04:002009-08-12T00:25:53.585-04:00I would agree that yoga isn't great for losing...I would agree that yoga isn't great for losing weight.

I don't know if you've read many of Merry and Crabby's posts, but while there is a lot of humor here, it's not making fun of anyone or anything (except themselves).

The physical, mental and emotional benefits are incalculable and not to be measured in calorie expenditures (and calorie-burning exercise has been pretty thoroughly discredited as a way to lose weight).
