SUNROSE YOGA

knaveofhearts-deactivated201108 asked: Hi! I'm going to my very first yoga class next week and am wondering about eating before and after. My class is at 11am, so if I ate breakfast at 8am, would I still be alright to do yoga? I've heard a few different things on the net about doing it on an empty stomach, so I thought I would ask an actual person =) It's a beginner's class, so probably not very strenuous.
Thanks =)

Answer:

Hi! I’m excited for you to check out your first class! Great question. I think that you will be just fine eating at 8 for an 11am class. If you find yourself hungry beforehand, eating something light (like a banana or 1/2 a lara bar, for example) about 30 minutes prior to the class could save you from feeling light-headed.

All goodness!

Episode 36— Finding Ease

Namaste, Yogis.

The Yoga Sutras say very little about the physical practice, asana. What they do say, however, reveals that to find one’s self in the posture (asana, which translates literally to “seat”), one must embody both effort and ease. So often, we neglect the ease. We decide that effort requires more obvious work, so it must be superior. But establishing ease in the posture (on and off the mat) is infinitely more difficult. When we are straining less, we are more susceptible to the thoughts that arise in moments of quiet. Whether you are a new or veteran student, I invite you to approach this sequence (about 25 minutes) with ease: hold your body at ease, let your breath flow easily in and out of the body and go easy on yourself when thoughts arise. I do hope you love this practice.

My dears, I thank you so so much for joining me on this podcast journey. I appreciate your support and hope you will get in touch with your yoga stories. {Hello to Patrizia in Switzerland! Thank you for the email! Welcome back Peggy!!}

Blessings of love.

"This morning, as I walked across frosty grass as the sun began to lighten the sky, the moon shone just as brightly– inspiring me to remember that the transformative power of love is always there for us, as long as we are open to receive its message."

I see the moon. The moon sees me. « Sunrose Yoga
