"You guys know that I&amp;#x27;m a huge fan of yoga. Hypnosis? Well, I&amp;#x27;ve never tried it, and frankly, it spooks me out a tad. But, when I heard about a new program that mixes the two, I was intrigued. Of course, I had to try it... A new study reports that hypnosis may have real benefits. In fact, the BBC just reported that scientists have found that brainwaves actually change during hypnosis. In other words, it&amp;#x27;s not a bunch of bunk. Interesting, since I checked out a new program called &amp;quot;Hyp-Yoga,&amp;quot; created by yoga practitioners and hypnotherapists in Omaha, Nebraska. It&amp;#x27;s a series of CDs and DVDs that are described like this: &amp;quot;it&amp;#x27;s the next generation of &amp;quot;mind-body wellness programs, and combines the proven benefits of yoga and hypnosis to help align the mind with the body and its behaviors.&amp;quot; Programs include: &amp;quot;Freedom from Emotional Eating,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Sleeping Better,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Living in the Present Moment,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Increased Energy.&amp;quot; I popped one in and gave it a try in my living room. Though I&amp;#x27;ve always been skeptical of anything labeled &amp;quot;hypnosis,&amp;quot; I was fascinated with what this program tries to do: harness deep breathing and movement as a way to focus on a goal (in my case, stress release and sleeping better). And while the product doesn&amp;#x27;t claim to put you into a state of hypnosis, it&amp;#x27;s hard not to feel more grounded, relaxed and zen while working along with one of these DVDs. Plus, the instructor&amp;#x27;s voice is so calming and comforting. I felt better just watching it! If you already love yoga and are looking for a new, relaxing, spin on your same-old-same old routine, this could be fun to try! Enjoy, and om!
