Gabrielle Raiz, a.k.a. “The Hot Yoga Doctor,” recently let me pick her brain about Hot Yoga, precisions, alignment, avoiding injuries, and a bunch of other very interesting topics (for a yoga nerd like me, anyway).

Alla I can say about Gabrielle is that I love her. Everyone can learn yoga but the right pose is the one which is done with the right alignment and I learnt this first time her. I consider her my virtual teacher. And another person I came to know from her is you, Lucas, and what I learnt from you is how can we advance our practice and the secret is all in the stretching guide.

I have been hooked with this site and Lucas’s postings for almost a month now. Its been really great to find a virtual yoga teacher and adviser. The tutorials and videos are truly helpful. Every time I got home from yoga class, I always read and browse Yogabody site.

I’m confused about types of yoga names. Can you clarify the differeence between Astanga, Bikram, and Hot Yoga?

Is there a specific yoga type for each person? Or can we do all regardless of type? Kind of confusing.

I tried YOGABODY courtesy of my yoga teacher trainer & mentor, and was amazed by the results. After just 24 hours taking the supplements, I did an advanced practice and could not believe the difference in my strength and flexibility. Whoever put this together really knows what they're doing!

- Mariann Grace (certified yoga instructor)

I don't like supplements usually, but since this one is all-natural, I thought I'd give it a try. My right hip was really giving me problems, and YOGABODY reduced the pain immediately.

Within a week, I was able to stretch deeper than ever. It could have been a coincidence, but I don't think so. Thanks!

- Daniel Stringer (yoga student)

I have been taking YOGABODY for about a month, and one of the most significant effects I noticed, was when I decided to do a 6 mile run with a friend. I hadn't run 6 miles in a couple years, and my running routine had dwindled to only 4 miles, 2-3 times per week. Normally in the past if I had done a 6 mile run I would be VERY sore the next couple days, but this time, with the addition of YOGABODY, I wasn't sore AT ALL!! I couldn't believe it!

- Shireen Khavari (runner)

Right away I noticed a significant difference in the amount of energy I had: before, during, and after a yoga class when taking YOGABODY. I challenge every yogi/yogini to try this product-yes, it's THAT good!

- Tunde Martinez (yoga student)

Thank you! I've been taking YOGABODY for just over a month and already I notice a difference. I have knees and ankles that get very stiff and sore, and in fact, I've had two knee surgeries more than ten years ago.

While taking YOGABODY, I notice less recurring stiffness and more range of motion. It feels like I need less warm-up time.

- Eric Stryson (yoga student)

I must thank you again for the capsules. I typically take between 4 and 6 caps every day, depending on my eating schedule. I definitely have a reduction of appetite. It seems that food just does not taste as good, so I'm less tempted to eat it. As a result, though I am not more than a couple of pounds lighter, I feel much lighter.

I'm more of a runner than a yoga practitioner, and I feel like I can simply bounce up the off-road trails I run on daily. And, in terms of yoga, my backbends are getting much stronger and bigger-way bigger!

- Jason Polley (yoga student)

YOGABODY on the PAT Campbell Show

I've had lower back pain for years... an old injury. Yoga has helped a lot, and now, YOGABODY is increasing the benefits. It relieves pain within about an hour and seems to be helping me heal and get flexible. I don't go to the studio without it.

- Karen Gamble (yoga student)

This really works! I wasn't expecting much, but I followed the instructions, took my supplements, and you know... I actually noticed it the first day! It also cleared up my skin within a week. So thank you!

- Alexia Briones Van de Walle (yoga instructor)

I've practiced yoga for almost 3 years and Ashtanga is my favorite practice. Though I have a pretty flexible body, I will sometimes get sore or pain in my hamstring. Also, I had a hard time in doing Marichyasana D alone.

But, after taking YOGABODY for a week, I can do Marichyasana D right now, and I can feel that my backbend poses can further be deepened. Yet, I don't feel sore even after a strong practice. My body can recover very soon! It's amazing!

- Maisie Chan (yoga student)

I've been stretching daily for 6 years, and yet my hamstrings are still like two solid blocks of ice when I get on the mat each morning - all stiffness and pain. Two days after I began using YOGABODY Stretch, I noticed that my hamstrings were really limber and my body felt loose and light. I also feel clear-headed and energized. Naturally, I was really surprised at how quickly I could feel the effects.

- Daniel White (yoga student)

I have been taking YOGABODY for just over 3 weeks and I noticed the results immediately. I take 3 caps in the morning, about one hour before practice, and 3 caps at night. I can't quite explain it but I have been flying through practice, and as a result, have been more focused and more on the ball.

My appetite has also shrunk and digestion is a lot better. For whatever reason, I feel more energized, and this all happened when I started taking YOGABODY! I love it! This extra energy helps both in my own practice and when I teach.

- Tiana Harilela,Yoga Teacher (yoga instructor)

I used to overstretch quite frequently when practicing, with vulnerable inter-coastal and upper-back muscles. Ever since taking the green supplement, my body has been feeling stronger and more elastic. Muscles have an increased safety range, and I barely experience any of the previous random discomforts.

- Alex Reachi (yoga student)

You'll never believe the progress in my flexibility using YOGABODY over a 2 week period. I am 47, and before now I could never do the splits. After I started using YOGABODY I am so much more flexible it's unbelievable. These two pictures speak for themselves. In the first I am 5 inches off the ground, and the second pic is after only 6 stretching sessions! I am also not as sore after workouts and my body recovers faster with YOGABODY. I am so pleased, thank you!

– Angela Surajpal (yoga student)

I borrowed a friend's Yoga Trapeze and it was an awesome experience. It gave me such a feeling of lightness without being dizzy. Almost instant relief from backache and a feeling of the spine decompressing. I just wanted to stay upside down for hours it was so relaxing.

– Bryan Bender (yoga student)

I recently started yoga again and as I was taking YOGABODY, I did 3 days in a row and my body healed so much faster than normal. I find it easier and more enjoyable to practice yoga when taking YOGABODY and I don't dread the pain I would normally get when I stretch. YOGABODY makes me more positive during my workouts which is an added bonus because I feel awesome afterwards! This is my honest and sincere opinion about this product, yeah the green pills may look weird but they work!! So grateful I found them!

– Kim Chi Kim (yoga student)

I use YOGABODY daily and work on the Gravity Poses. I just got the laminated chart and it's helping to remember how they are to be grouped. Almost down in splits on right side which is amazing. I wasn't making as much progress until I started the YOAGBODY program. Actually getting closer on left side too - which I never dreamed I would be able to do!

– KCSuzy (yoga student)

I bought the Yoga Trapeze for my wife who doesn't practice yoga but has had slipped discs since adolescence. She gets relief from doing a simple inversion in this for seven minutes each morning

– Jeremy Johnson (yoga student)

I have had huge flexibility gains in the 12 weeks I have used this product and the Gravity Pose techniques. I have even been able to join a fitness center to do additional resistance training. I am 62, have had 2 serious spinal injuries at ages 16 & 28, and 7 spinal surgeries (3 lumbar, 4 cervical) in the past 44 years, along with several other invasive spinal procedures. Thanks to YOGABODY I'm doin' better every day now!

– Lulgi (yoga student)

I do my gravity stretches and take YOGABODY every morning. I love the CD as it contains plain instructions and at the same time makes me feel as if I'm taking a class in a group. I started practicing yoga about 20 years ago and I was quite flexible and bendy. Then I quit and lost a lot of movement. Some of the gravity poses help me feel like I still can move freely without feeling pain or tension. My work gives me neck, back and leg pain. After couple of weeks of YOGABODY Stretch and Gravity Yoga I felt no pain in my neck, my back hurts less, and my legs have become lighter. Before it was quite difficult for me to walk. After approximately 100 meters I wanted to stop, to sit, to have a rest. Now I'm walking at least 7 km a day and feel good. Thanks a lot! I feel the life coming back to my body.

– Galina (yoga student)

I eat at least one tablespoon of Chia seeds a day. They are a revelation. My intestines are humming, and my skin is really soft. I have given these away to friends, and recommend them to everyone.

– Julie Madill (yoga instructor)

I have been using your "gravity" poses to loosen my hips and they have done wonders for me. I can sit in lotus pose for about 1 hour now without tremendous discomfort.

– Stephen McConnell (yoga student)

I am so thankful for the YOGABODY Handbook. It will surely deepen the benefits of my Bikram practice. Again many thanks and Namaste

– Barbara (Bikram Yoga student)

I use a tablespoon of chia seeds in my morning spinach, banana, carrot, ginger, lemon and plain yogurt shake. That's my breakfast. (You've helped me realize the power of drinking as much spinach as possible from a masticating juicer) I quit the coffee over a year ago, and these chia seeds are wonderful for a not-so hungry feeling and maybe I'm imagining it, but I do feel more energized!

– Kitty-Marie LaVeaux (dance instructor)

The stretches you laid out in your manual do wonders. Lately I've found that if I bike my butt off and break a good sweat then do your long holds, my bad hamstring seems to improve much faster.

– Kris Waldron (Bikram Yoga teacher)

I have just started the YOGABODY Gang, and am loving the idea! It gives a nice feeling of sharing and being part of something. Great advice and responses. The Gravity poses are amazingly effective, after just one week I feel a difference! The YOGABODY Stretch supplements also seem to help me in kicking my coffee to the curb!

– Marianne Huus Mjøen (yoga student)

Chia seeds are an absolutely fabulous product. They feel so amazing in my system. I often start my day with some chia and water for breakfast. Within 10 min I'm completely satisfied for 2 - hours.

– Deirdre Butler (yoga student)

I received the YOGABODY Handbook about ten days ago, and I have been using the gravity poses every day (sometimes twice a day) since then. I have to admit that this program greatly exceeds my expectations!

I am 56 and I have been practicing yoga since I was 14. The problem is that I am (was) as stiff as a board and that yoga was always a struggle for me because I was always so far from the posture that I could not relax and benefit from it. I therefore had long periods of discouragement and I felt like I got nowhere, even after so many years. At least, that's until I tried your gravity poses. I think that a kind of a miracle is starting to happen! Gravity poses work - and damn well! For the first time in my life I see and feel progress! I obviously have to put in the work and allow time for more progress, but I trust the method and I know it is going to work wonders with a little patience, because I already feel quite different, I would say more "free". Great product, Lucas, God bless you!

– Paul Belizere (yoga student)

I am 30 years old, and since I was 16 I have belonged to the Yog Sadhan Ashram. I am also a Yoga Coach and have used the Ashram for my daily yoga practice, since I was 12 years old. I used to be very healthy naturally, but when I turned 23, I became very busy and concentrated on my studies, marriage and career. I stopped practicing every day, until I could not even do PAAD HAST AASAN. My weight jumped to 83kg and I was very stiff. One day I found your site and read all your articles. It took two days, but I was convinced and changed my diet. I bought Spirulina, MSM, Chlorella, stopped eating fast food and started eating more raw vegetables like spinach, cabbage and also some plant foods. I was also a coffee boy before, but I cut it out. In one month I lost 10kg and now I can also do CHAKRA ASAN - can you believe it? Thank you so much!

– Sanjeev (yoga student)

I drink Yoga Protein in a smoothie every day, and just love it. It gives me the energy I need to practice yoga and Tai Chi, and leaves me feeling great - plus, the recovery time after classes are faster. Thank you for getting these products out to us and helping us get better results.

– Jacquelyn Sword (yoga student)

Yoga Protein is great stuff! I have tried all types of protein and this is by far the best tasting and easiest to mix with liquid.
