Yoga is becoming popular nowadays. As to the question of whether yoga can help people lose weight, here are some answers for your reference.

Differences between yoga and general exercise

Yoga: You must concentrate your consciousness and keep your body still in a certain posture for a period of time to achieve unity of body and mind. Balance the endocrine system and promote balanced development of the body's limbs. The whole body feels relaxed, the mind is calm, and the inner self is full of energy; you don’t need to sleep too long.

General movement: Keep the body moving mechanically and continuously without using consciousness. Makes the muscles developed but not balanced. Physical energy is easily consumed and muscles are easily fatigued, so a long sleep is needed to restore physical strength.
