I have been a mother for some years now and I wish that the passion I exert in my motherhood tasks is the same as my goal to maintain my pre-pregnancy size. But it is not happening to me. I have many friends who have no problem in this area, but me there is! And I am not proud of it, yet I am writing about it.

I wish for the day when I can stop thinking all the problems and trials my way so that I would be inspired to hit the road in the morning and evening, to sweat off the saved fats in my body.

One thing that got me curious is yoga. I found this interesting paragraph in Wiki: Long-term yoga practitioners in the United States have reported musculoskeletal and mental health improvements, as well as reduced symptoms of asthma in asthmatics. Regular yoga practice increases brain GABA levels and has been shown to improve mood and anxiety more than some other metabolically matched exercises, such as walking. The three main focuses of Hatha yoga (exercise, breathing, and meditation) make it beneficial to those suffering from heart disease. Overall, studies of the effects of yoga on heart disease suggest that yoga may reduce high blood pressure, improve symptoms of heart failure, enhance cardiac rehabilitation, and lower cardiovascular risk factors. For chronic low back pain, specialist Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs has been found 30% more beneficial than usual care alone in a UK clinical trial. Other smaller studies support this finding. The Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs programme is the dominant treatment for society (both cheaper and more effective than usual care alone) due to 8.5 fewer days off work each year. A research group from Boston University School of Medicine also tested yoga’s effects on lower back pain. Over twelve weeks, one group of volunteers practiced yoga while the control group continued with standard treatment for back pain. The reported pain for yoga participants decreased by one third, while the standard treatment group had only a five percent drop. Yoga participants also had a drop of 80% in pain medication use. 
This sounds promising. Maybe when I have time and a buddy, I will try to explore this kind of exercise.
