Yoga
& Weight
by Pat Burke |
The American science of exercise is based
on the cardiovascular workout which helps to bum fat and reduce body
weight. Can gentle exercise such as yoga and t'ai chi provide any benefit
for those who desire to lose weight? "Aerobic yoga" is an
oxymoron which may have originated as a marketing tool. In actuality, the
methods employed in aerobic exercise and traditional strength training are
diametrically opposed to the yogic approach of the body. There is no
authentic lineage or school of yoga that is rooted in the desire to burn
fat or to strengthen the cardio-vascular system by increasing the heart
rate.
Yoga offers its practitioners tools to
quiet and calm the mind. Yoga, as well as many other Eastern health
practices, seeks to regulate the breath, strengthen the bones and skeletal
structure of the body, and elongate the muscles. It seeks to soften and
relax tension which impairs the functioning of the circulatory system,
organs and glands.
When yoga practice results in weight loss,
it is as a result of the development of compassionate self awareness. The
exploration may take a student up or down 20 to 100 pounds on the scale,
or may leave the student more accepting of his or her own body
composition, with no visible changes on the outside.

How has meditation had an effect on your life?

Caroline
Avon, CT

"I
originally became interested in meditation as a spiritual exercise.
But since sticking with a regular routine, I have benefited
physically as well. I have lowered my blood pressure, become more
relaxed and feel re-energized after every session." |
Mary
Rutland, MA

"Did you say meditation or medication? Cause I don't use
either, but the latter sounds like more fun."

John

"I meditate so much that I don't have time to shave."

"A man watches his pear tree day after day, impatient for the
ripening of the fruit. Let him attempt to force the ripening of the
fruit,
and he may spoil both fruit and tree. But let
him patiently wait, and the ripe pear at
length falls into his lap!"
~ Abraham Lincoln
"Life is not separate
from death. It only
looks that way"
~
Blackfoot Proverb
"To finish the moment,
to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest
number of good hours, is wisdom."

As a young woman, Jane Goodall was best known for her groundbreaking
fieldwork with the chimpanzees of Gombe, Africa. Goodall's work has always
been controversial, mostly because she broke the mold of research
scientist by developing meaningful relationships with her
"specimens" and honoring their lives as she would other humans.
Now at the age of 60, she continues
to break the mold of scientist by revealing how her research and
worldwide conservation institutes spring from her childhood callings
and adult spiritual convictions. Reason for Hope is a
smoothly written memoir that does not shy away from facing the
realities of environmental destruction, animal abuse, and genocide.
But Goodall shares her antidote to the poison of despair with
specific examples of why she has not lost faith. For instance, she
shares her spiritual epiphany during a visit to Auschwitz; her
bravery in the face of chimpanzee imprisonment in medical
laboratories; and devotes a whole chapter to individuals,
corporations, and countries that are doing the right thing. But most
of all Goodall provides a beautifully written plea for why everyone
can and must find a reason for hope. -- Gail Hudson (Amazon.com
Reviewer)
