Subject: yoga for carnivores

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
wasn't always that way.
In ancient times, everyone ate meat, if they could get it, because there was plenty to go
around. Like the rest of humanity, the residents of the Indian sub-continent descended from
tribes of hunters. As the population density of the fertile valleys increased, the nomadic hunting
lifestyle gave way to the settled agrarian culture. More and more of the food came from crops
and livestock.
As the population continued to grow over the millenia, a caste system developed. The basic
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.
