| Is it important to be a vegetarian to get the most from Yoga?
Yoga originated in India. India today has a population of well over one billion people. It

In ancient times, everyone ate meat, if they could get it, because there was plenty to go

lifestyle gave way to the settled agrarian culture. More and more of the food came from crops
and livestock.

division can be pictured as a triangle, with the workers at the bottom, followed by the merchants
and then the warriors, with the priests at the top.
