A diet that offers your body a great basis for practice—or encourages the same effects as practice—makes for a great yogic diet. In the Ayurvedic tradition, foods that are considered sattvic include most vegetables, ghee (clarified butter), fruits, legumes, and certain grains
Whether you’re practicing intense Power yoga or slowing it down with Hatha or Yin, a healthy diet is key to having both the energy and the focus to make it through your practice. It’s important that your diet is balanced and full of nutritious foods high in fibre, vitamins, healthy fats, and natural sugars to keep you satisfied and grounded.
