Nutritional Yoga

Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,

This week in class we are considering the topic “Nutritional Yoga.”

Instead of eating carelessly and hurriedly, in the midst of noise, agitation and arguments and then going off to do Yoga exercises, wouldn’t it be much better to understand that meals give you the perfect opportunity every day, two or three times a day, to practice meditation, concentration and the harmonization of all of the cells in your body.

- Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

The homework is to consider meal time to be your Yoga practice. This is all part of taking your Yoga off of the mat and applying it to all areas of your life. Work to deepen your experience of the smells, textures and tastes of the food. Consider chewing your food more and taking more time in-between bites. Bring more presence, concentration and awareness to your meal time.

Blessings,
