Yes, ultimitely it will help you lose wieght. I read that if you stick to it for a year, you can lose up to 20lb.
But, something like Pilates with not only help you lose wieght, but will tone your body too. I don't think that Yoga will tone you because its more or less strenching. (Sorry that wasnt your question, oOpS)

Definately. It gives you more flexibility and read this article:
You already know that yoga can help improve your flexibility and make you stronger. Now there's another potential bonus of doing yoga — it may help you lose weight! It's true! A study in a recent issue of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine showed that overweight people who were middle aged (45 to 55 years old) and did yoga regularly lost more weight over a ten-year period than those who didn't do yoga. At the same time, normal-weight yoga devotees gained fewer pounds over this time than those who were yoga-free. Why? Researchers guess that it may be because yoga indirectly encourages healthier eating and exercise habits by making you aware of your body. It's all connected!
Though the researchers say that more studies are needed to prove this yoga weight-loss connection, it never hurts to get into the yoga habit. Whether it helps you shed those pounds or not, it definitely contributes to a healthy lifestyle! So stretch and practice those postures — your body will thank you!
Have fun =D **emm[y]

yes yoga is a very good exercise for losing weight. especially if you are older or have a hard time doing traditional exercises. Although there are better things than yoga, yoga speeds up your matabolism and calms your mind and body making yourself less stressed and inreturn healthier overall

yoga alone wont make you lose weight. yoga is more stretching. if you want to lose weight i suggest doing some aerobics. try dancing or doing pilates. you should also watch what you eat and stay healthy. also drink LOTS of water.
