COURSE CONTENT
The yoga for weight loss programme has two distinct parts – EDUCATION (knowledge about health, food habits, benefits) and PRACTICE (yoga, diet and lifestyle changes).
Yoga for weight loss programme will offer specific advice, practice and protocol– food and diet habits and changes, influence of matters like stress and external environment, the impact of exercise, and routines and practices most conducive to losing weight, a better way of cooking, and the influence of community, love and support, common sense, rest and wisdom – all of it will be part of this programme.
Between the classes, there will be work to be done. Changes, small and big, in daily life, related to exercise, diet and lifestyle will be suggested and implemented. There are fifteen days of practicing a new way of life, and taking it beyond.
Each of these practices are centred on just one single theme - how to lose weight effectively!
Yoga gives clear guidelines on how to reach your optimum weight
Asana practice helps to improve the functioning of the internal systems and bring them into balance. It also helps to improve digestion, overall metabolism and absorption of nutrition into the body, thereby helping to positively change the way the body works. Asanas also tone the body, make the body stronger and more flexible. You can improve your stamina, reduce weight, and increase your immunity with regular asana practice and achieve a younger looking anf fresh skin.
Pranayama controls and regulates the energy in the body, and it controls and regulates our emotions, thoughts and behavior. This in turn has a profound impact on our weight. For example, the cravings associated with moods, and low energy levels disappear, to be replaced by better metabolism and higher energy. Sleep improves, and therefore the skintone, as well as the balance in the hormones. The breathing techniques, while they are quite simple, purify the blood, strengthen the nervous system and refresh the brain. There is a simple and direct correlation between the practice of pranayama and overall health.
Yoga suggests a vegetarian diet. For thousands of years, Yoga has suggested the link between our food habits and the disease, pain that we have. A diet plan, of changes in habit, time restricted eating, suggestions on fasting, yogic approach to more natural ways of cooking and eating.
Similarly yoga has definite protocols for cleansing (called detox in modern parlance). The cleansing techniques, called Kriyas, include Kapalabhati, Jal Neti, Sutra Neti, agnisaar, Nauli, Dhauti and Basti. They are powerful, and help to reset the entire internal system, rejuvenating and refreshing each and every organ and body part.
Finally yoga has clear guidelines on combating and reversing stress, as well as rules for avoiding conflict and dissonance. This happens with the methodical practices of relaxation and meditation, and guidance on daily lifestyle.
