What does yoga have to do with binge eating? Apparently quite a bit. In a study conducted at the University of the Rockies, a graduate university specializing in master's and doctorate degrees in psychology, binge eaters who participated in a 10 week yoga therapy program had their binge eating episodes drop from about five to less than two per week. The program combined an hour of yoga with a half hour group discussion each week.
According to lead researcher Deborah Patz Clarke, yoga addresses the mind body disconnect that's so prevalent in our society, particularly among binge eaters. People with eating disorders escape life's turbulence by over or under eating to numb disturbing emotions. They substitute their relationship with food for real connections or feelings in their lives. Yoga helps them learn to be in the moment and to handle things they used to avoid with food.
"Yoga also raises awareness of and responsiveness to the body, which makes it an ideal modality for helping treat psychological disorders that take the body hostage, such as eating disorders or substance addictions," Clarke said. "By reconnecting with their body, people find that the desire to abuse their body significantly decreases."

YOGA AND OLD AGE
When a man of 91 walks as if he is barely 60, talks as if he is a 45 year old CEO of a recession proof company and smiles with the innocence of a 10 year old, there ends all debate, if there's still any, about the wonders that regular practice of yoga can do to your mind and body. But then, the man in question is no ordinary practitioner, he is the lord of yoga.
Perhaps more people in the West are familiar with the name of BKS Iyengar than in India, though with the winds of change blowing, from the West, unfortunately, the importance of yoga and Iyengar's stature in the field are being acknowledged back home as well.
"When I became a teacher in 1936, one was thought to be half insane to take up yoga. We did not have more than 10 teachers in the whole of India. Until 1954, we were struggling. I was teaching in schools and colleges of Pune. They would make me wait for hours. At times they would just send me back after the wait. I took all those humiliations but never gave up," said Iyengar, who was in Chennai on Sunday afternoon to give away certificates to students of the prestigious Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram who had completed their teacher's training.
In 1954, salvation arrived in the form of a student called Yehudi Menuhin, the violinist and conductor, who was in India to perform at the invitation of Jawaharlal Nehru. "He had a nervous attack and could not hold the violin. Yoga cured him and he gave successful performances. He invited me to teach in Switzerland, which turned out to be the gateway of yoga to the West. People never thought someone of Menuhin's calibre could be interested in yoga," reminisced Iyengar.

YOGA AND FITNESS
Former WWE diva Trish Stratus recently appeared on BiteTV's "The Surf" show in Canada to talk about her post WWE adventures and upcoming line of fitness/yoga DVDs.
Trish was a fitness model before WWE signed her to a contract in the late '90s. A decade later, she's free to produce her own line of products without WWE calling the shots. Well, she put it a bit differently.
"Since my background came from the fitness industry, people said, 'When are you going to do a video?' It just wasn't the right time or...my soul was owned by WWE or whatever," Trish said wryly. "So, there was not an opportune time to these videos."
The clip of Trish's "WWE owned my soul" line is at the 3:30 mark in the "After Show" video below. The second video below is the full 40-minute episode of Stratus on "The Surf" with clips of her sky diving and doing a Jeff Hardy Swanton Bomb, as she described it.

EXPLORING YOGA
Inspired to make a documentary about yoga, filmmaker Kate Churchill came up with a shrewd idea for Enlighten Up! Rather than focus on her own experience with the discipline, which she has practiced to great physical and spiritual benefit for many years, she enlisted a yoga novice to devote himself to it and report on its effects.
So she recruited Nick Rosen, 29, a physically fit, intellectually skeptical journalist from New York, to plunge into the world of yoga in search of a style that suited him. Approaching the subject through Rosen is a doubly smart strategy: it allows the uninitiated viewer to explore yoga through a surrogate, and it marginalizes Churchill's blatant agenda and rather grating personality.
Yoga appeals to Rosen as a superb workout more than as a route to enlightenment, and he tours the various studios and methods of the international yoga scene (from New York to Los Angeles and Hawaii before an extended, and fascinating, trip to India) with both an open mind and a dubious eye for its more metaphysical trappings. This clearly frustrates a filmmaker eager to acclaim the 'transformative' aspects of the discipline.
As the title indicates, Enlighten Up! explores its subject with a light touch and welcome sense of humor. That it ends with a lack of resolution about yoga's ultimate goal suggests that Rosen wasn't the only one to gain some self knowledge along the way.

YOGA EXCHANGE
Chi feeling totally out of whack but you don't have the cash to get that thing realigned at a fancy yoga retreat? (Clearly we have no idea what Chi actually is and have confused it with your spine.) Well today's your lucky day because a few yogi friendly meccas are making spiritual vacays a little more accessible. Enlightenment and free exercise awaits, after the jump!
Instead of charging a few thousand dollars a week, the Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, PA charges just $300-$900 a month for room, board and classes in exchange for a few hours of work a day. And by 'work' we don't mean super manly labor like chopping down trees and building sweat lodges, it's generally more along the lines of helping prepare lunch, cleaning rooms or washing dishes. Sort of like what you already have to do at home anyway.

YOGA FOR BODY AND MIND
Stretching, bending, balancing and breathing are some movements in yoga. But yoga is not merely about working out, it will get your mind off deadlines, broken hearts and other problems for awhile.
Yusni Irena, the owner of yoga studio Jakartadoyoga in Central Jakarta, said that besides to help calm the pressure, yoga is also a perfect exercise for those who wanted to fix their body postures.
"Many join yoga because of the trend, some just know that they need it because they have certain illnesses that forbid them doing other exercise, or just want to improve their posture," she said.
"And those who join yoga to fix their bodies the result can be felt after 10 classes, around three to four weeks. Another advantage of doing yoga is that you will be able to scan your own body."
Led by five certified instructors, two year old Jakartadoyoga offers you 20 yoga classes from Monday to Saturday, covering Ashtanga yoga, Iyengar yoga which uses equipment in its practice, Vinyasa yoga, prenatal (with partner) and a new class for teenager.
Each class runs for 75 minutes and you need to pay for Rp 115,000 if you wish to join a single class.

YOGA FOR MOTHERS AND BABIES
Emily Siemers of Edmond heard her baby laugh for the first time as she sang a silly song to her in her mommy/baby yoga class. She started taking baby Dylan to classes when she was 6 weeks old.
Dylan, now 6 months, never stops laughing, Siemers said. She's a happy baby, as are most of the babies in Karen Prior's Mamaste classes.
"Mamaste: The mama in me salutes the mama in you." It's a play on Namaste, a Sanskrit phrase that, in yoga, means "the light within me honors the light within you."
Prior, an Oklahoma yoga instructor, coined the term as a name for the mommy/baby yoga program she designed. It's a way for new mothers to exercise with their babies while socializing with other new mothers. It's also a great way to get back into shape after childbirth, Siemers said.
"We believe that babies have an intense need to be with their mothers," Prior said. "With Mamaste, Mom can take care of herself and bond with her baby at the same time."

A YOGA REVOLUTION
In the 60s and 70s, when yoga was practised only by a small section of people, even in India, T.K.V. Desikachar quit his job as an engineer and embarked on a journey in yoga.
In 1976 he founded Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM) which 'revolutionised the yoga practice in the country,' said Kausthub Desikachar, co founder of Krishnamacharya Healing and Yoga Foundation, narrating how the KYM was founded. He was speaking at a meeting in honour of Mr. Desikachar here on Tuesday, on the occasion of KYM moving to its new premises. During the event, a photographic exhibition on Mr. Desikachar titled 'Portraits of a Grand Master' was inaugurated by cinematographer Madhu Ambat. The photographs in the exhibition were by Mr. Kausthub, son of Mr. Desikachar. The photographs spoke about the person behind the institution, Mr. Kausthub said, adding that each photograph expressed different facets of Mr. Desikachar's personality.
Mr. Desikachar was 'someone who is the great torch bearer of the timeless legacy of the great Yogacharya Krishnamacharya,' said N. Murali, Managing Director, The Hindu, who was the guest of honour. Mr. Desikachar had learnt yoga from his guru and father Yogacharya Krishnamacharya.

YOGA ON THE BEACH
Everyday we hear about new workouts that promise great results. But there are also workouts that have been helping people improve their health for years. The ancient form of yoga dates back over 5,000 years, and has so many different forms of the practice to choose from. On this Fit at Five we take a look at one class that gives a jump start to your day, both physically and mentally. Kelly LaBrecque has more.
For Celina McMichael teaching yoga outside seemed like a natural thing to do. The class is a blend of traditional Ashtanga with a Vinyasa flow. It is a more vigorous practice, and known as a 'power' yoga.
People start a yoga practice for many different reasons. The initial draw to power yoga is the physical, but people quickly find that the benefits are so much more. The members in this class are able to start their day knowing that they just had a great workout. They are also happier, calm, and centered.

YOGA AND FACIAL BEAUTY
You approach the mirror, and there they are, the signs of expiration.
Who replaced those apple cheeks with gecko skin?
Who deflated the neck?
Perhaps that factory manufactured a defective mirror, but chances are you have aged.
Technology has given birth to many so called 'cures' to aging, cheek implants and Skin Caviar' from La Prairie, to name a couple.
Botox is popular, but you're nervous about using nerve gas. And you like smiling. Folks with money turn to the facelift, but you see Joan Rivers. And, again, you like smiling.
Now, a Midtown man is giving vulnerable mortals some natural ammunition against the mirror: face yoga.
He's holding classes in Decatur, Sandy Springs and Marietta, under the name Mr. 'Happy Face Yoga.'
'I never noticed before, but my mouth used to sag, and I used to have bumps on my forehead because of wrinkles,' said Gary Sikorski, the yoga instructor.
He put a stop to those lines.
'Just by tightening the muscle, you get rid of them,' Sikorski said.
With face yoga, no knife punctures skin. It hurts your wallet less, too. The six week class costs $250.
