Body Wisdom Yoga For Weight Loss
Gina Kornrumpf had struggled with her weight all her life. The results of her on-again, off-again dieting were discouraging, and only served to fuel her preoccupation with the numbers on her scale. She led an active life—traveling, bike riding, and exercising—but that didn't seem to help her shed the extra pounds or get her higher-than-normal blood pressure under control. By the time she topped 207 pounds in 2008, she realized she needed a new plan. "A friend of mine is passionate about yoga, and encouraged me to at least consider trying it," Kornrumpf says. So she registered at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health's Integrative Weight Loss program, a residential immersion program that incorporates multiple aspects of healthy living in an integrative approach to weight management.
