Know Your Dosha, Fuel Your Flow

If you feel breezy, scattered, or cold before class, favor warm porridges, root vegetables, and spiced stews. Add ghee, sesame oil, and gentle spices to anchor focus and stabilize breath.

Know Your Dosha, Fuel Your Flow

If intensity, heat, and drive describe you, lean into cucumbers, coconut, cilantro, and sweet fruits. Choose lightly cooked meals, minty herbal teas, and avoid fiery chilies before vigorous flows.

Know Your Dosha, Fuel Your Flow

When sluggishness or heaviness creeps in, lighten the plate with steamed greens, legumes, and warming spices. Favor broths, ginger tea, and smaller portions to spark motivation and stable endurance.

Pre- and Post-Yoga Eating Made Simple

One to two hours before practice, reach for a small bowl of oatmeal with dates, a ripe banana with almond butter, or soup. Keep it simple, spiced gently, and easily digestible.

Within an hour after class, choose a warm bowl with quinoa, roasted squash, steamed greens, and tahini. Add cumin, coriander, and a squeeze of lemon to restore minerals and brighten mood.

Sip warm water or fennel tea throughout the day instead of guzzling cold drinks. This supports agni, reduces bloating, and keeps joints comfortable for deeper, safer stretches.

Agni and Prana: The Fire That Feeds Your Breath

Start with warm water and lemon, then chew a sliver of fresh ginger with a pinch of salt before breakfast. Expect brighter focus and easier breathing during sun salutations.

Cumin, coriander, and fennel align beautifully with slow, expansive breathing. Their subtle heat moves stagnation without agitation, creating a calm, steady platform for pranayama and mindful transitions.

Set down the phone and chew until flavors soften and sweetness rises naturally. This simple attention honors agni, reduces overeating, and deepens body awareness when you step onto the mat.

Seasonal Eating (Ritucharya) for Your Practice Calendar

Ground the cold months with stews, kitchari, and roasted roots. Add ghee, cinnamon, and black pepper. Expect softer hips, happier joints, and calmer nerves when facing longer holds.
