While there is a yoga way of eating, there is also a yoga way of not eating.

This refers to fasting. Since we make our digestive system work several times a day, it’s a good idea to give it some rest.

This will allow our digestive system to recover from eating too much, eating unhealthy food or eating at the wrong time.

It’s often said: "As you eat, so you become."

Diet occupies a dominant place in yoga, which advises Sattvic or pure vegetarian food.

Food is traditionally classified according to its effect on the body and mind, using the three Gunas: Sattva (quality of love, light and life), Raja (quality of activity and passion, lacking stability) and Tamas (quality of darkness and inertia, resulting in ignorance).

Stretches are a good way to start off an early morning yoga session.
