Yoga complements GLP-1 well — but with caveats around timing and intensity.
What works
Hatha or Iyengar-style asana 3–5 times a week is excellent — improves mobility, manages stress, and supports recovery.
Watch for
Hot yoga / Bikram + reduced food intake + GLP-1 = real risk of dehydration and light-headedness. Avoid for the first 8 weeks. After that, hydrate aggressively before and after.
Yoga is not enough alone
It builds endurance and flexibility but is light on muscle-building stimulus. Add 2 strength sessions a week alongside — yoga + strength is the optimal combo.
