Yoga + Hypnosis = Weight Loss?

Yoga has been proven to be an effective tool to enhance a weight loss plan. Even when the practice is gentle and doesn’t burn tons of calories, practitioners are less stressed and more mindful which contributes to reaching a healthy weight. The mind connection is what three yoga instructors and hypnotherapists were hoping to enhance when they combined yoga with hypnosis to create Hyp-Yoga.

According to the Hyp-Yoga website, the practice combines hatha yoga with positive visualizations that speak to the subconscious mind to impact the conscious.

Everyday Yoga

Next week, May 2-9, is Yoga Week in Washington D.C., which means that participating studios are offering discounted classes hoping to draw in students and raise awareness. However, DC area yoga teachers also want to get across the message that there’s a big difference from practicing yoga once a week, and practicing every day. “There’s a huge difference—in digestive, respiratory, skin, sleep and nervous system benefits,” Boundless Yoga owner Kim Weeks tells expressnightout.com.

It’s clear that studio owners have a lot to gain from convincing their students to come around more often, but most would agree that daily practice is a great goal. (Whether you do it at your local studio or your living room is up to you, of course.)

Have any of you noticed a transformation when you began practicing daily?
