Yoga Diet

This is probably the most important part of your Yoga program. A Yoga Diet is essentially Sattvic (pure, light and predominantly vegetarian). You will have to have lots of fresh fruit and salads, have plenty of freshly cooked (preferably steamed or sautéed) vegetables, lots of green, leafy vegetables, sprouts and only have whole grain wheat bread and brown rice. As far as possible avoid non-vegetarian foods as well as all deep fried, stale, spicy, fast / junk foods, cigarettes and alcohol. If you practice this program in all respects, you should be able to achieve the desired results in a matter of weeks, provided you don’t have any other health condition, such as thyroid.
