Here’s some info on an upcoming author event at Barnes & Noble in Harrisonburg:
Who: Virginia author William Vaus
What: Believe Books is pleased to announce the launch of its newest title, The Professor of Narnia – The C.S. Lewis Story. Lewis scholar Will Vaus has created a fascinating and historically precise portrayal of Lewis, one of the most beloved authors of the 20th century. The book skillfully interweaves the various themes from The Narnia Chronicles with the battles Lewis encountered in his own life, and the lessons learned will benefit every reader.
Targeted for a young readership, The Professor of Narnia is described as “the perfect biography of C.S. Lewis for children” by Lewis’s former secretary, Walter Hooper, who has also provided the Foreword for the book. According to Bruce Edwards, the Editor of C.S. Lewis: Life, Works and Legacy, author Will Vaus “has crafted a wise and winsome book sure to delight readers of all ages.”

Emmy, will doing yoga help a person lose weight?

I hope that was a question and not a dig at me.
Assuming it was a question, I believe it can. I can tell you that I really feel it now that it has been a few hours and I expect to be sore tomorrow. There are lots of different types and some are more geared towards the exercise aspect. It certainly helps with flexibility, balance and stress relief.

Yoga by itself generally doesn’t cause a person to lose weight directly, although over time the increase in muscle tissue will cause your body to burn more calories. I’ve heard that yoga also helps improve your ability to do other exercises (because of better strength, balance, endurance, and flexibility as Emmy mentioned), which would make other fat-burning workouts more effective.
I do short yoga workouts at home on my Wii Fit and find it to be a relaxing break from sitting at my desk working.

Acupuncture supposedly changes the metabolism and helps folks lose weight.
