Think simple carbohydrates with small amounts of protein, fat, or fiber for staying power and energy.
It could be fruit and nut butter, a smoothie, toast with avocado, or anything that feels energizing to you
Before yoga, choose foods that digest easily and give you balanced energy, such as a combination of whole grain carbohydrates, protein, and fat for staying power.
I recommend having a full meal two hours before a yoga class.
These can upset your stomach as they could make you uncomfortable while you practice.
Allow yourself one to one-and-a-half hours to digest after a light snack and two to three hours to digest after a light meal before your yoga class.
After yoga, especially if it’s a vigorous flow, you’ll want to refuel with a meal or snack that has a 3-to-1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein, which can help repair muscle tissues and restore energy levels.
