This is a great thread of stories, I am still overweight, however it is becoming less of an issue as I work through yoga classes. I am 53 in a couple of weeks,living in Beijing and realized a couple of months back that the 80+ hr work weeks had to go. I decided to go through a Detox for 10 days, of master cleanser, and no dairy meat etc… followed by a yoga retreat in Phuket for a couple of weeks,(visitng a friend, who attends Hot Yoga every day, like brushing her teeth) Going to this was real tough for me as I quit smoking as well 6 weeks back, so the breathing and poses, were challenging,and with my beatuiful Baby Bhudha Belly, … some of the poses were difficult to get to,…. however as all have said it is your personal journey that is important, and the focus of mediatation and breathing, that has helped me.
What happened to Donna, who started this. if your out there, keep going, and pushing forward, and Gabrielle, thanks for the site….
