"I actually look better at 47 than I did at 21," she said. At her peak two years ago, she weighed more than 300 pounds now she has gone from size 28 to a size 8. Stacey Morris had the same shock as Boorman when she lost significant weight through DDP.
"It's like the Marines, yoga for the Marines," Claire, one of Boorman's students, said. But he must warn his pupils that there is nothing soothing or meditative about his class. "I was up late, on a search engine just typing different things, and I typed in yoga and broken back, and up popped Dallas' page," he recalls.īoorman soon got the Page's DVDs, and slowly and surprisingly he saw himself shrinking, tightening and strengthening.Īfter his weight loss, Boorman has now moved from DDP student to teacher. At that time he plunged into some dark days, becoming so obese that at one point, he couldn't walk without leg braces.īoorman thought yoga could help his back pain, but no studios wanted to work with him because he couldn't stand on his own. These days it's hard to imagine that not many years ago, Boorman was a Gulf War veteran with some serious back issues. We all know yoga can build strength and flexibility, but it can also be the key to significant weight loss by creating a slow, deep resistance to each movement, getting the body working against itself.
We make a joke: 'It ain't your momma's yoga,'" Boorman said.ĭDP was invented by Diamond Dallas Page, an extreme former wrestler who thought yoga could use a new intensity.
