The psychological benefits of yoga may offer the tools weight-loss maintainers need to avoid dietary lapses, like stress or mindless eating. Of course, yoga burns fewer calories than aerobic exercise, so it's usually not the go-to workout for people who want to lose weight — but a recent study found that people who practice yoga in addition to aerobic exercise were more likely to stick to their weight-loss goals because of the psychological benefits you get from yoga, like self-compassion. The vast majority of the participants in this study had never practiced yoga before, but ended up rating it very highly — whether taking in-person or online classes.
