| My clients seeking
weight loss typically practice a vigorous power yoga style.What Rodney Yee
refers to as "the slow burn", which is a challenging asthanga based power
yoga, where the asanas are held for longer periods of time, than would be
held in a vinyasa flow class for example. Emphasis is on ujjaya breathing
to awaken and strengthen the core, proper alignment and mindfulness in each
moment.Students are taught to sense when they are pushing themselves too
hard, or when they could possibly go deeper. Awareness of bandhas, postural
alignment, and spinal elongation is emphasized. Classes are designed with
the student in mind, daily, to ensure they are always getting
what they need for that session .For weight loss, clients are encouraged
to exercise and practice some asanas during the "off" days when we are not
working together. The degree to which they adhere to this recomendation is
directly coorelated with the results they experience. They are discouraged
from "weighing" themselves on a scale on a regular basis,
since the weight loss that is acheived through yoga is generally gradual
and permanent, as lifestyle habits evolve and improve. Some clients I have
worked with have lost a considerable (50+ lbs) amount of weight through practicing
yoga. This was achieved with hard work, dedication, and determination. There
is no fat loss pill, but yoga can be magic if you follow the guidance of a skilled and trained instructor/teacher.
