Hi all!
I am in the same boat as Inspired. I am a small framed athlete in my late 20’s(5’5 @ 117lbs). I’d like to know if Gabrielle can share her advice(since she has had student’s inquire at her own studio)on what a yogi can do to avoid losing weight. I had to implemented a diet of eating much more to keep myself in my “ideal” weight range, and I have also cut back my 4-5 a week schedule to 3 days of yoga. I have been practing for 3 years and have noticed a change in the overall shape of my body- more lean and defined- but if I do not eat mass quantities of food, I will drop weight. I feel great, sleep wonderfully, rarely get sick, and I am in the best shape of my life because of Bikram! I am in superb health- I just got blood work done and my doctor had absolutely no complaints. Yes, as Inspired described it sounds like a perfect situation to be in(to lose weight without trying), but when you are an athlete not so much. I would love your feedback Gabrielle, and any and all constructive criticism and advice from my fellow yogis. 🙂 love and light
