Its the combination of things but really the meditation, stretching and the physical movement is relaxing and really good for you. Go ahead and try it because it is really good for stress reduction.

Its all of it. Having a relaxing meditation, clearing your mind of all thoughts, and just living in the moment. It also helps flexibility and stretches muscles so thats a plus. and it gets your in touch with your spiritual side which will make you feel more relaxed and less-stressed throughout the day.

I haven't done yoga in over 5 years but after my son was born I started up again with the mommy&baby yoga I was way out of shape but it was fun and my son enjoyed it great way to bond and get back in shape at the same time I'd just let the instructor know you're a beginner or, if you'd rather go at your own pace, there are mommy &baby yoga instructional DVDs you can do at home ($ 12 at Target)

Comment on Does this seem like a healthy plan to lose weight? by Ivy

I think you might be getting a little mixed up with what you want exactly. You say that you want to lose “weight” but that means you might want to get rid of some muscle too. You then say that you’d like to “shape” (I’d call it tone) your body a little which implies you want to build some muscle. I’m not trying to pick at your question – I just want to clarify the point for you.

To answer it in the best way, I am going to look at it as if you want to get rid of fat AND build muscle at the same time. If you’re looking to “trim” and “tone” your body, and espectially because you suggest you are not that overweight, I would suggest you start performing more intensive aerobic exercises such as jogging. I wouldn’t think you need to change the whole way you eat or go on a diet because if you’re wanting to build muscles – it’s better to do it all with exercise.

Exercises like jogging won’t exactly “build” your muscles on your stomach but they will help reduce the extra fat around there. Depending on how fit you are, you should go on daily or bi-daily jogs of around a mile. To build muscles, you should concentrate on anaerobic exercises such as sit-ups to help build muscles.

These muscle-building exercises will give your muscles the toning and training they need to grow and become more prominent. To start to see a real difference with sit-ups, you should be looking to do no more than 100 every day (more than that will often hurt your muscles).

If you stick to doing those two forms of exercise – jogging and sit-ups, you should see real improvements in a week or two. Remember, you should do them as often as you can (I.E every single day).

Good Luck and Take care

i think they accommodate for beginners, i know a lot of new mums that had never been to a yoga class in their life joined the mommy/baby group and were fine, yoga is quite easy to be honest i used to do a home video of it when i was younger (don't have the time now) but its all quite slow and relaxing, some of the moves are hard to get into but they do accommodate for different levels and strengths, so you can do as much as you can and if people are going a little further don't worry, everyone is different and everyone knows that. go and enjoy

Dried fruit, granola bars, trail mix, popcorn with butter, and sunflower seeds are LOADED with calories. Aside from the sunflower seeds, they’re not really all that good for you either. Stick with vegetables and fruits, plain popcorn, plain yogurt with fruit, etc. Always check labels, don’t believe something is healthy just because it’s promoted as a diet food.
And make sure you’re not using too much dressing on those fast food salads…if you’re going to use all of it, you may as well just get a cheeseburger.
It’s okay to have junk food once in awhile if it helps keep you on track.

Did you know that yoga prepares you to receive fallen angels into your body? Yeah they dont tell you that part. I dont care how good and relaxing it feels. Take up pilates or deep breathing exercises.

Sounds pretty perfect! Just stick to that pla and you will get to the weight you wanna be, just don’t stress over it and develop and eating disorder because that is really common in a lot of teenage girls trust me i know. Just eat 3 meals a day and healthy ones at that. good luck and i have a feeling youll look great when you get to your goal weight! I have a feeling you even look great know!

Comment on How can I convince my husband to go to just one yoga class with me? by townes

Seems like just earnestly communicating how important it is to you ought to at least get him out for one class. I really think that most men, like me, like direct requests. And if that doesn't work, maybe a trade will - offer to do some activity you're not interested in that he's been wanting to share with you if he goes to yoga. Works for some couples, where others just stick to what they really like and do other things separately.
