What you eat before and after yoga can make or break your practice. The last thing you want is to be uncomfortable when you're trying to concentrate on being present in the moment. Here’s what you should be eating before and after a session (and what to avoid at all costs).

Before: If you're heading to the studio with an empty stomach, a light snack of bananas and almonds or a cup of greek yogurt with fruit will energize your body without weighing it down. Other recommended pre-yoga snacks include apples, peanut butter, string cheese, crackers, veggies and light protein shakes.

After: You've just finished an intense session of vinyasa flow, so it's time to refuel and rehydrate. A fruit smoothie is great for replacing fluids and electrolytes and also contains enough carbohydrates to help restore muscle glycogen levels. To replenish lost protein, add some Greek yogurt or nuts. And don't forget about hydration! Grab a glass of water or coconut water after class too (but not during!).

What not to eat: Don’t eat a heavy meal too close to your workout—otherwise you'll end up feeling sluggish instead of energized during practice.

Nice list, I would even say it is my usual diet. Any recommendations on reliable food stores where I could buy organic products? As a rule I purchase everything at Stop and Shop, these guys have excellent customer support service https://stop-and-shop.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html , but I feel like I am ready to try out something new.

I think the best foods to eat before and after yoga is something that is easily digested, so you can get your stomach full before and then not have to worry about digestion post-yoga. I would recommend eating something that is high in fiber (like a salad or other veggie) and protein (think grilled chicken or steak) as well as some healthy fat (nuts, avocado).

Afterward, I would recommend having something low in fat (such as broth or yogurt), but high in protein (think eggs).

Before yoga:

  • Stay hydrated. Yoga is a great way to stay hydrated, but it's also important to drink plenty of water before class. You'll sweat a lot, so you need to replenish your body with fluids.

  • Eat a healthy meal before yoga. If you're not very hungry before class, eat something small and light so that you don't feel hungry during class. Try eating protein-rich foods like nuts or eggs.

After yoga:

  • Don't eat for at least an hour after you've finished your practice. Your body needs time to digest the food that it just consumed and to return to normal levels of blood sugar (sugar) in order to function optimally again tomorrow morning when you wake up!
