There are many kinds of yoga, but the most important thing is what you do all day long, how you think, how you treat others, how you react, and what you eat. Whatever your physical goal, you need to know that what you eat will determine who you are. Ultimately, to get a "toned" body, you have to do the work in the kitchen and on your yoga mat to achieve your goals. Whenever you hold a pose for a more extended period, you will increase the amount of muscle work and tone in those areas.
