Let’s remember what “Yoga” means…It is a sanskrit word, sansrkit is an ancient language and when you translate yoga into English it means union. Yoga is the union of your body, mind and spirit. These are 3 aspect of who you are. We have a body that allows us to enjoy this life and to go from place to place. We take care of our body and nourish it with food and exercise . We have a mind that helps us make decisions and allows us to be creative and open to new ideas and thoughts .We take care of our mind with eating healthy foods ,getting rest and relaxation. We have a spirit that shines through our eyes . “The eyes are the mirror of our soul” and when we take care of our body and mind, then our spirit shines brightly through our eyes and we feel good. So eating the Yoga way is not about being a vegetarian; someone who refrains from eating meat which includes fish ,rabbit , snake basically anything with 2 eyes. Eating in “Union”(yoga) means choosing foods that will nourish you and some body types need to eat meat to have strength and power. How do you know what foods you should eat ? It’s simple. Notice how you feel before you eat,while you’re eating and notice how you feel after you eat. You will be guided by feelings of comfort or discomfort. Eat foods that make you feel comfortable before,during and after. Eat foods that give you a sense of strength and power. The most nourishing foods are whole foods. Whole foods are food which haven’t been broken down or have preservatives and chemicals added. For example; a potato instead of French fries, an apple or piece of fruit instead of candy, rice or pasta instead of bread. A whole egg rather than eggs whites, it would be ok to use more egg whites and at least one full egg with yoke which makes a complete protein. Have meats that are without antibiotics or hormones. Fish that is fresh . It is important to appreciate the animal which is nourishing your body and mind. Have a moment of thanks before eating. Add more vegetables to your meals .Make your plate colorful with different fresh foods. Set the table nicely use your China ,light a candle even if it’s just you! Most important is that you celebrate food. Let food be your friend . It is ok to eat food that may not be the best choice from time to time especially when at a party or celebration…Indulge be happy! Just know that when you have choices and to choose the healthy way. “The Yoga Way. “ ENJOY!
