Dear Ms. Yogi:
I am very stressed out at work and am gaining a lot of weight. I know I need to exercise, but since I have gained weight, I do not feel I have enough energy to workout. Any suggestions?

Dear Stressed and Gaining Weight,
Below is a link to a medical article that shows stress can cause weight gain. A low-impact, stress-relieving program that includes yoga is a great way to start relieving both excess weight as well as stress.
Sometimes, people do not feel motivated to join a gym, or even leave the house to be in a group of people and try something new. Try a yoga instructor that teaches as a personal trainer, and will come to you, even if it is just to get started on a routine. Once you see the results and learn how to better handle stress, you will have more energy and may feel up to joining a small class.
The key is to start with some instruction on how to eliminate the stress from your body and learn to lessen its affects on your physical well-being. Yoga can do this and more; bringing you more flexibility, confidence and strength.
All the best health and inner peace,
Ms. Yogi
