I am small, only 5'2"and now just look rather "hefty". I do know I build muscle very quickly, always have, so I always avoided using weights because of this. I have always just eaten very healthy and walked. So anyway, now my boyfriend thinks I'm getting "a bit heavy" and tells me I should go more often... he's losing tons of weight by going. So I go more, and get even bigger! My pants hardly fit anymore. I love the other benefits though, I am just very frustrated. I'm glad I'm not going crazy because I thought I was, or that I had suddenly developed a thyroid problem or something! I have been doing this Yoga for the last 7 months and have also gained weight!

I have always practiced 5-6 times a week but in the last 6 mos I have gone almost everyday and I have gained weight too! I even have cut out all alcohol. It is super frustrating. I think before I used to go to the gym and do cardio 2-3 times a week plus the bikram 4-5 times a week. hi, I have been doing bikram yoga for about 9 years and I love how it makes me feel during and after class.

I do love it but before Yoga I had been going to the gym 3 times a week. I have gained 5 pounds since starting Bikram and have not increased my intake of calories. I feel good but I really don't like being heavier. I enjoy the classes tremendously but will go to the gym twice a week in addition to see if the weight comes down.

Same here. I think I have been gaining weight because of yoga. I know its all muscle weight but I don't want to have muscle mass and would prefer to look smaller rather. I used to do Hatha Yoga before and now I have been doing Bikram for almost a year now. I think I am going to reduce the number of days I perform yoga. Janet Govindan. Same here.

I love vinyasa yoga because you can get a moderate cardiovascular workout depending on how hard you push yourself. Every movement is with your breath so you can speed it up if you like.

I think that people who exercise regularly such as myself (running, weights, etc) do not lose weight if they substitute yoga for those more cardiovascular activities. But am wondering if anyone else has had experience with gaining weight and any insights on how to reverse this trend. I weighed about 120 lbs when I began and have been up as high as 129 (about 127 now) and have never weighed this much. Was thinking about stopping the yoga, even tho I love it, but my nice husband bought me a year's membership to my yoga studio. Help!
