Are there any yoga videos to help reduce body fat and build muscle with resistance bands? ---

Welcome, @ffitz5! Yoga asana aren’t really known for helping you lose weight. Diet and cardio are the best ways. Yoga also doesn’t really build muscle, rather it tones your body. There is a practice called Dandasana, however, that is an old mix of yoga and martial arts. It’s a very slow motion resistance exercise, combined with deep breathing, that can build muscle and move energy. I have considered filming dandasana classes - let me know if that would interest you. ---
