Premise
Does Yoga make you lose weight?
During our first meeting my students frequently ask me this question.
In reference to Kundalini Yoga, this question is answered in many kriya proposed by the Master of Kundalini Yoga, Yogi Bhajan; such as those you can find in the manual of Kundalini Yoga Slim & Trim Yoga Exercises For Women And Meditations
. He taught these kriyas to the participants of the Women’s Training Course in the summer of 1977.
If you read this text, you would be fascinated by the depth with which Yogi Bhajan talks about being ‘overweight’.
In other words, as explained by Yogi Bhajan, nervous hunger and compulsive and irrational eating have to do with psychological factors such as stress, discomfort, worry, low levels of energy and a lack of physical and emotional balance. The various kriyas proposed by Yogi Bhajan are useful for stimulating the nervous, glandular, digestive, and circulatory systems; thanks to the stimulation they provide, balance is restored to our body. This allows us to acquire a calm and deep awareness of ourselves; and due to our heightened understanding of what our body needs, our relationship with food changes. As a result we follow a more healthy and balanced lifestyle.
When speaking broadly about yoga, there have been many studies done on the topic. They confirm that practicing yoga can help with weight loss and prevent the typical weight gain common in middle age men and women.
I want to point to some interesting research conducted in 2005, published in the journal of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine
, referenced by the site: http://www.fhcrc.org.
The researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, with the collaboration of the National Cancer Institute, analyzed 15,500 healthy men and women of middle age. These men and women were asked to answer a questionnaire about their physical activity between the ages of 45 and 55.
The purpose of this study was to measure the impact that yoga has on weight, independently from other factors such as diet and other types of physical activity.
The researchers found that most people gain about a pound a year between the ages of 45 and 55. This is a common pattern as people age but do not adjust their calorific intake in proportion to their declining energy needs.
However, men and women who were of normal weight at age 45 and regularly practiced yoga gained about 3 fewer pounds during that 10-year period than those who didn’t practice yoga,
said Alan R. Kristal, Dr.P.H., the study’s lead author.
But the researchers noticed the greatest effect of regular yoga practice was among people who were overweight. "Men and women who were overweight and practiced yoga lost about 5 pounds, while those
