Hi All,

I have just started Bikram Yoga since last week (4 times last week, 2 tis week) and my main goal of doing this is to lose weight. I am 5.4″, 138 pounds and want to lose 30 pounds. I don’t see any sign of losing. What are your thoughts?

Thanks,
Somy

Hello Somy

The trick is to be a little patient. Have your mind on your intention to lose SHAPE not weight, AND let go of your expectations. If you really want to succeed, then don’t get attached to it. Throw away your scales, and go by the way you FEEL in your clothes, and in your skin and in your head and heart.

If you REALLY want it then you have to go as many times per week as you can. Twice per week is not going to get you your goal. But 4 times per week will do it. 5 times better and so on.

One day you will look in the mirror and won’t believe that you hadn’t noticed the changes happening. Let it go. And before you know it you won’t be going to lose weight at all. You will be loving the heart-opening experience, the mind and body cleanse and feeling good for no good reason. That is when the shape drops off you!

Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂

i noticed that in the beginning i lost a few pounds that were excess to my body frame size, but since then i have levelled off. i continue to lose body fat and gain muscle, so i consistently stay at the same “weight”, while my body shape continues to change dramatically. hang in there! the best way to see results is to do a 60-day challenge, i think.
