A CALORIE-TORCHING SEQUENCE FOR TONING AND STRETCHING YOUR WHOLE BODY! REPEAT AND CREATE WITH THESE POSES AS YOU GET YOUR HEART RATE–AND YOUR METABOLISM UP!
Hey honey–
Sounds like you’ve been through a LOT. Yoga will definitely be your magic tool against gaining weight. One thing though–800-900 calories is severe, and your metabolism will actually slow down if you remain on it outside of the hospital. If you are active during the day [not in bed all day], you need at LEAST 1200 calories to keep your metabolism [fuel your brain and body functions] running. If you do 30-60 mins of strong yoga, add 2-300 calories onto that. You will NOT gain weight.
It’s the yoga, baby!
How do you think I got this way?? YOGA:)

I am, though I speak very little. Grandfather from Modena and relatives in Sicily. And yes, you should do this stuff–it makes you look and feel awesome.

Absolutely–in fact, it would burn even more calories because you’d be doing it for more time. Also, for slower weight loss-worthy ones, try my Power Half Hour and Power Hour videos–they are in real time and longer.
Good luck! Sadie
It’s much better, but many people don’t have access to a studio, sadly…so this is the next best thing, mama!

Thanks!
This one is faster than many of my others, since I wasn’t trying to do a real-time practice, but explain the sequence and poses. Try my Power Half Hour for weight loss or my Power Hour videos–they are real time!

What??? Nice to meet another Nardini diva!!
ciao bella!
Sadie
Good advice! I need a Britney Spears mic;)
xoSadie

no time like the present.

My pleasure!

You can, but you will burn about 50 calories that way, so if your goal is weight loss, do it for at least 30 mins, or do some of my other videos in addition. If you want to effect real change, you have to commit to asking more of your body than you do now.
xoxoSadie
you’re so welcome!
You could get a Yoga for Beginner’s DVD, Rodney Yee has some good strong ones out. Or you could just do this and when your body stops you within a pose, or trying to get into one, hold it, and work there at your edge until you can progress. I will make some more Beginners’ flows soon too–stay posted!
xoSadie
Absolutely–rest in Child’s Pose or come to sit for one minute anytime you need to catch your breath. I would stay warm though and not stop for too long, or else warm up again with some Core Salutations or Sun Salutations when you begin again.
Namaste,
Sadie

I hope it’s challenging! That means it’s transforming you. Ask more of yourself, and ye shall receive, right;)
Namaste!
Sadie
15 years, and I can tell you from experience that if you commit to even 3 days a week, it will change your body–and your life.
xoSadie
You can do this, and you can also do some others, like my Power Half Hour and Core Sun Salutations…
welcome to yoga!!

Hey there–
Check out my comments above, and do what feels best for your goals. If you feel tired, congratulations–you worked out! Keep it up, and your body willl adjust and you’ll soon feel happy and energized as well as feeling like you worked your body.
Have fun!! xoxo
Hey–
You can just do as many as you want in 1/2 an hour, but I’d end with a stretch like Pigeon Pose [see the video for that] and make sure to rest on your back for 2-3 minutes afterwards to reset your body into the new alignment as you cool down.
Have fun!
Sadie
