to be a lot of work.’ And he said, ‘Well,
what else are we going to do?’”
Her festival, she decided, would be
based on trust and love. It would be called
something comfortable and soothing,
hence the name “Yoga Crib.”And it would
feature her main teacher, Erich Schiff-
mann (the author of Yoga: the Spirit and
Practice of Moving into Stillness), whom
she describes as a “great big Chewbacca

a deep personal self-investigation of love.

HigH Life: TeLLuride
Starting a yoga festival can be a logistical
nightmare, but it actually follows a fairly
simple formula: Take a place of stunning
natural beauty and add a strong, overarch-
ing theme. It also helps to have a big-name
teacher around who can peg your event
and draw other popular teachers.
Aubrey Hackman of Telluride, Colo-
rado, followed the formula perfectly. In
2007 Hackman returned home from her

eating when full. They were also found to
weigh less than those who ate when they
weren’t hungry, or in response to anxiety
or depression.The researchers concluded
that the increased body awareness (spe-
cifically a sensitivity to hunger and sati-
ety) learned through yoga had a greater
effect on participants’ weight than did
the exercise aspect of the practice.
This suggests that yoga leads to a
greater sensitivity to how the body re-
sponds to food, and therefore naturally
leads to better food choices. “It’s all about
listening to your body,” says Kripalu’s Bag-
nulo. In Kripalu’s weight loss program,
conscious-eating exercises aim at creat-
ing a deeper awareness of the connec-
tion between the body and the food that
goes into it, and teaching participants to
become more in tune with the body’s sig-
nals and messages.
“Yoga put me in my body, so that I
have a five-sensory experience of what it
feels like to feel good,” says Cheryl Kain,
who completed the Kripalu program in
2006. “I can make a decision about what
to eat from a full-body wisdom, rather
than just from my head.”

Of course, a yoga practice for weight loss
is not one size fits all. In Kripalu’s weight
loss program, participants are encouraged
to explore a variety of yoga classes, rang-
ing from restorative to vigorous, in order
to discover what kind of yoga can best
facilitate their weight loss. For example,
someone who has trouble handling stress
might choose a restorative approach,
while someone whose metabolism is
slowing as they age might look to a more
vigorous practice.
