She had the “crazy idea” to start a more intimate alternative. Rather than have attendees choose classes from a menu, Ryder asked them to trust Yoga Crib to put their personal schedules together for them. “I said to my husband, ‘This is going to be a lot of work.’ And he said, ‘Well, what else are we going to do?’ ” me Her festival, she decided, would be based on trust and love.

It also helps to have a big-name teacher around who can peg your event and draw other popular teachers. Aubrey Hackman of Telluride, Colo- rado, followed the formula perfectly.

They were also found to weigh less than those who ate when they weren’t hungry, or in response to anxiety or depression. The researchers concluded that the increased body awareness (spe- cifically a sensitivity to hunger and sati- ety) learned through yoga had a greater effect on participants’ weight than did the exercise aspect of the practice. This suggests that yoga leads to a greater sensitivity to how the body re - sponds to food, and therefore naturally leads to better food choices. “It’s all about listening to your body,” says Kripalu’s Bag- nulo. In Kripalu’s weight loss program, conscious-eating exercises aim at creat- ing a deeper awareness of the connec- tion between the body and the food that goes into it, and teaching participants to become more in tune with the body’s sig- nals and messages. “Yoga put me in my body, so that I have a five-sensory experience of what it feels like to feel good,” says Cheryl Kain, who completed the Kripalu program in 2006. “I can make a decision about what to eat from a full-body wisdom, rather than just from my head.” our bodies, ourselves Of course, a yoga practice for weight loss is not one size fits all. In Kripalu’s weight loss program, participants are encouraged to explore a variety of yoga classes, rang- ing from restorative to vigorous, in order to discover what kind of yoga can best facilitate their weight loss. For example, someone who has trouble handling stress might choose a restorative approach, while someone whose metabolism is slowing as they age might look to a more vigorous practice. 110 yogajournal.com february 2010 www.storemags.com & www.fantamag.com
