I lost a little weight when I took up yoga but it was basically just enough to make my jeans fit better... Yoga is supposed to help "normalize" your weight, whatever that means. My interpretation is that you leave class feeling so calm, centered and revitalized due to your breathing opening up that it tends to inspire an overall desire to take better care of yourself. Therefore, you'll reach a more optimized version of yourself but it won't make drastic changes in your appearance.
