Moksha Yoga is a series of traditional yoga postures practiced in a heated room (~ 37C). The series is a cardiovascular workout that strengthens, tones, and stretches the muscles while calming the mind and reducing stress. A combination of calm breathing and deep stretching allows for greater oxygen supply throughout the body, which returns the system to its healthiest form. The heat allows for deeper, safer stretching and promotes detoxification of the skin, blood and muscles through sweat.

Also, your metabolism speeds up, which further encourages the breakdown of glucose and fatty acids. It is common to lose inches first, especially in those hard to lose areas.

A John Monastra, who converted to Islam in 1984, says it best..."I don't think of yoga as a religion," he says, "I think of it as a technique that helps anybody practise their own religion better." In fact, you don't have to be a Hindu or a Buddhist or in any religion for that matter to practise yoga. While some yoga styles focus very heavily on meditation and chanting, Moksha Yoga focuses on both upper and lower body strengthening, balance and flexibility. See similar questions...

To understand this, you should resort to Satsang (association with the wise) and study of scriptures. An intellect that is clouded by all sorts of desires and evil Samskaras (impressions) will not be able to grasp even the need for Moksha. Such an intellect is Asuric (devilish). Read the Gita. Attend Satsang. Listen to the discourses of saints and Sannyasins (renunciates). Then Viveka (discrimination) will arise in you. You will understand that this world is full of pain and sorrow.
