Many people lose extra pounds when they start practicing yoga. Lots of calories can be burned in active yoga classes, where students flow from one pose to another quickly. When students attend regularly, we expect to see pounds melt away. Those who attend gentle yoga classes, where a lot of time is spent relaxing on the floor with blankets, also become leaner and stronger.
The reason people experience a weight loss from all types of yoga classes is that yoga decreases stress and makes us feel more connected to our bodies. Stress increases your cortisol level, which makes losing weight more difficult. If you are a person who eats when you feel stressed out, you will eat less, when your stress level decreases. When we become more connected to our bodies, we want to nourish ourselves with healthy food and avoid foods that harm our bodies.

I hope you can help me out. I am trying to get my health under control so starting to eat right is my first step. Do you know where I can purchase quality food online? (that is on the healthy side) I am starting to do all of my shopping online because of various reasons…so I am hoping you can help me out with a suggestion or two.
So far I have only tried Celebrity foods (which is outstanding by the way)
I am in desperate need to grow my list of quality services or stores, where I can buy my food from. Thank you and have a great day or night (depending on when you read this. LOL!
I do not know a lot about shopping for food online. I grow a lot of my own vegetables. I shop at Trader Joes, Costco, and Henry's.
I try to buy organic food as much as possible.
