The main task of yoga is healing, mental and physical, of the entire human body. If you have problems with excess weight , yoga postures will serve for weight loss, if you are underweight - the body, having recovered, will gain a normal body weight. In India, and many other oriental cultures, it is believed that problems with excess or lack of weight are inside us.
