Should I Eat Before or After a Yoga Class?

It is suggested that you not eat directly before a yoga class and that you allow approximately two hours for digestion of a meal prior to practicing. A warm cup of spiced milk or tea is an acceptable snack prior to a yoga class.

Following your class, drink water, tea or chai and enjoy a meal. If your class finishes late in the evening, it is best to eat a lightly before going to sleep as heavier meals are best consumed in the mid-day.
