Recipes for a Yoga Diet

The food we eat makes up our physical body - you are what you eat. A Yoga diet is a lacto-vegetarian one, based on pure, natural, nutritional, energy-rich foods which are easily digested and assimilated, such as grains, fresh fruit and vegetables, legumes, unpasteurised milk, and honey. A simple lacto-vegetarian Yoga diet nourishes both the body and the mind, keeping them in a pure and peaceful state, and also keeps the body lean and agile, making it the most advisable for the practice of Yoga.
