ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE COURSE
How does the 'Slimmer in 60 Days' course works?
The "Slimmer in 60 Days" course is based on traditional Yoga Chikitsa, or Yoga Therapy. The course is structured for 8 weeks and is divided into 4 parts. The first part prepares the metabolism, the second part does detoxification, and third part induces greater weight loss in those needing it. In the fourth part visible weight loss occurs and the body restructures itself. Beside weight loss deeper changes happen in the mind too.
Is there any guidance in the video course?
Yes, the videos have step-by-step explanations. They also showcase easier and more intense version of some postures. In addition, the textual guide to practice is given, too. It also includes "5 Evergreen Truths" -a diet manual.
I am not an Indian, how can I understand the language and different poses (Asanas) and breathing exercises (Pranayama)?
The course is designed for a global audience and English translations and/or paraphrasing of all postures and breathing exercises have been made.
Apart from the effectiveness of the content, participants are subscribing to this course because the explanations are video-based and there are opportunities to interact with other participants through online chat and forums.
How much weight will I lose following the course?
With the proper and diligent breathing in practice the weight loss is visible within 1month. More obese people start losing faster within 14 days. Those with just a few kilos extra will take time to lose them, but the shaping and slimming of the body will occur faster then by those who are more obese. To give exact number of kilos lost is preposterous as not all the people are the same. The effectiveness of losing kilos depends on regular and discipline practice of the program.
