Is Yoga a safe solution to weight control? Let me be completely honest: Yoga was not created as a weight loss program, but the Yogic lifestyle does allow one to manage weight control. Scientific and medical scrutiny have yielded information, which looks favorably on Yogic methodology. One more study tells the world, that Yoga can help with weight control and weight loss. The study I refer to was held by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington.
