Why are anorexia and bulimia called eating disorders?

Jennifer — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 01:26:40 +0000

Isn’t a disorder something you can’t control? Deliberately starving yourself and shoving your finger down your throat is something you can control. Isn’t it more of an addiction?

How long after a yoga session should I wait to lift?

Jennifer — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 18:51:38 +0000

I just started doing yoga about a week ago, and I really enjoy how I feel afterward. Since I feel rejuvenated and full of energy after a session, I like to do it in the morning. I like to lift weights or do some cardio in the afternoon or at night if I have the time and energy. But, I read online that doing yoga makes you temporarily weaker because of the static stretching. About how long does this temporary weakness last? A few minutes? Hours? Days?

How do I stop sleep eating?

Jennifer — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:20:50 +0000

This is waking up automatically in the middle of the night, usually two hours after I’ve gone to bed, to eat something. Sometimes I’m aware of what I’m doing. Sometimes I’m not, and I just remember in the morning. The funny thing is that I’ve been doing this for years, and the only time I was able to somewhat stop is when I went over seas for a few months. I don’t know why, maybe i reset my body’s internal clock. But when I came back home, so did the sleep eating! Weird!

What type of yoga is best for a beginner who is specifically looking to reduce stress?

Navin — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 13:08:50 +0000

I’m trying to decide between 2 classes being offered locally: Kundalini Yoga and Hatha Yoga. The course descriptions make Hatha sounds a bit more kinetic, but since I’m new to all this I really don’t know which is best. My goal is to reduce stress and muscle tension.
By the way, I am NOT looking to lose weight.

Navin — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 13:08:39 +0000

I am interested in becoming a yoga instructor, specifically for prenatal and mommy and me yoga (also known as Itsy Bitsy Yoga in some places). I used to do yoga all the time and I am now getting back into it and my love for it keeps growing. I know it will take a long time, and I am starting by taking regular Hatha Yoga classes, I just want to know the steps I will need to take, and any tips from anyone who has been there.
