Christy Turlington - weight loss & yoga

I've had a few friends comment about their weight gain over the past couple of months. It could be the change of season (Australia is now approaching the 'dreaded' summer) which inspired my friends to do something before shedding the clothes for the upcoming hotter months.

During my research I found that yoga can help one lose weight. This is due to the person becoming "mindful" about what they consume. I believe that it's also because yoga (at least certain types of yoga such as Vinyasa) build muscles and therefore the body burns more calories when resting.

Christy Turlington says she did yoga 3 times a week and pilates once a week while she was pregnant.
