Subject: What is the best food to take after a yoga session?


I am just curious what other people eat after a yoga session? On my part, I do my daily yoga in the morning before going to work so its usually breakfast food for me - oatmeal, cereals, etc.

How about you?

I have a sensitive constitution which doesn’t tolerate gluten, dairy, coffee or alcohol. Prior to doing Bikram yoga, I would indulge regularly in all of these and go through the consequences which ranged from mild spaced-outness, nausea to migraines. However, since doing this yoga 2-4 times a week for 12 months, I have found that if I indulge in any of these even on a small scale, in class I invariably experience gastric reflux, nausea and weakness, even if it has been days since the indulgence. I therefore now make the choice to indulge very much less often in these things and the results are remarkable. I now no longer crave sugar and I feel much more in control of my body. I’m grateful for the yoga’s effect in increasing my dietary discipline. Now I feel great most of the time. And that is a real plus after years of on and off health issues that were diet related but I found difficult to do anything about.

Generally yoga can be done in morning or evening. Yoga should be done with empty stomach to enjoy it. There should be interval of at least 3 hours between your last meal and yoga practice. Just take a glass of fresh lime juice in lukewarm water along with a spoon of honey. After half an hour you can drink a glass of warm milk or fruit juice. In lunch eat easily digestible foods like soups, fruits and vegetables,avoid fried, meat and heavy grain foods.

Well, I practice asana in the morning and I love drinking a big glass of mixed fruit juice after my asana session slowly. Then after 15-20 minute, I eat some fruits for my breakfast..

Thanks

I like banana sandwiches after a long yoga practice, which consists of a nice whole grain bread, vegannaise and banana's, how weird is that?? LOL

Green smoothies is the best to take after yoga class for me. Or some fruit.
