Well, the jury is out for the getting rid of the toxins, but this belief is part of Ayurveda and traditional yoga lit. You'll lose weight IF you're carrying extra weight, supposedly if you need to gain it'll help you with that. I'm not sure if it's true, but when I took class every single day for over a month my butt got higher and rounder and my waist got really tiny, enough to even make my brothers say something positive (they're teens and NEVER have anything nice to say).

A higher and rounder booty and a tinier waist? That sounds like a good benefit to me! I've just taken up yoga, but once I get a little more advanced I think I'll give Bikram a try!
