The surprising connection between yoga, cortisol, and weight loss

Some studies show that yoga can help you lose weight. But why? It doesn’t burn the most calories, and it doesn’t build the most muscle, but it can help lower cortisol, your body’s main stress hormone.

Lower cortisol can impact your blood glucose, insulin sensitivity, and hunger. In this way, the stress-relieving aspects of a yoga practice might - for some - be surprisingly effective for weight loss.
