Her name is Greer Childers. According to her you don't have to diet or exercise to lose weight, you do it simply by breathing funny.

Thanks for that!

It all seems so believable, doesn't it.

*laughs* Looks like it's based on one particular movement from yoga - I knew it as The Lion.

The idea was that you breathe in and then exhale and stick your tongue out and look up, it would stretch your throat. (And because I was at a kid's yoga group, we had to roar like a lion at the same time

Obviously she's taken it a bit too far!

Heh heh!

I think roaring like a lion would give it extra gravitas!

Lol...ok she made me giggle but what she is doing is pranyama breathing. Here's a link to the great yoga guru Krisnamacharya doing the same thing(around 2:20 into the clip)

I think Krisnamacharya did this with much more panache.

Many thanks for that Izze!
