5 You want to lose weight
Yoga for weight loss is a bit of a controversial subject. While there is an abundance of scientific evidence that even the most physically demanding types of yoga don't burn that many calories, there is also a lot of anecdotal evidence from people who believe that yoga has played an important role in their weight loss. Given this discrepancy, it has been suggested that yoga plays a supporting role by promoting a healthier lifestyle and improved dietary choices.
6 You have arthritis
People with arthritis are advised to move their bodies and stay active, but they need forms of exercise that are low impact and gentle on the joints. Yoga fits the bill. If possible, find a class that caters to people with arthritis so you can be sure that your teacher is familiar with your condition. Here's some more info on starting yoga when you have arthritis.
7 You are pregnant
Congratulations! If you've never done yoga before, this is a great time to start. There are so many reasons to do yoga during (and after) your pregnancy. Yoga can help you prepare for giving birth by opening your body and giving you techniques to cope with pain. Prenatal yoga classes offer a time to slow down and connect with your changing body.
8 You could use a time out
Remember when you were a kid and your mom told you to take deep breaths when you got worked up? Well, it still works. Breathing exercises taught in yoga classes (called pranayama) offer amazing tools for improving your respiratory function and controlling its effect on the central nervous system. Yoga is also a great way to take a time out from the rest of your day. Your time on the mat is a real break from the constant chatter in your head.
