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!
