Can I eat before yoga practice?

The best meal to eat before yoga practice is light and healthy food. Large meals may stay in your stomach for the duration of the class, and a full stomach may make you feel uncomfortable or lazy. However, you also shouldn’t do yoga practice on an empty stomach. Try to eat a small snack or light meal at least an hour before you arrive at the class.

Yoga class can last up to 90 minutes, so if you don’t eat a snack before class, you might feel hungry, lightheaded, or even faint. You might feel hungry more frequently during pregnant, so avoid going for extended stretches without eating.

A mid-morning, mid-afternoon, or late-evening class might be scheduled for you. It follows that a mealtime will soon arrive. Keep drinking from the bottle of water you brought with you during the rest of the day and during class to avoid becoming dehydrated.

A couple of hours before yoga practice, try one of these snacks:

• a piece of spreadable wholemeal bread
• a bowl of soup
• a bowl of cereal
• a glass of milk
• a curd or yogurt
• fruit salad
• watermelon slices
