FAQ
Yoga for weight loss?
Power yoga (350 kcal/hr) is gym-equivalent. Hatha alone won't cause weight loss — combine with diet + cardio.
Hot yoga (Bikram) calories?
~500 kcal/hr — high due to heat-induced cardiac stress. Hydration mandatory. Not for cardiac patients.
Yoga before or after meals?
Empty stomach (1-2 hrs after light meal). Inverted poses on full stomach cause discomfort.
