As a yoga practitioner I have experienced how eating a healthy, well balanced vegetarian diet can be simple, invigorating and tasty. When I first starting eating more vegetarian meals I was surprisingly impressed by their flavour and simplicity. I felt full sooner, and a real, nourished full. Not bloated or as though I had overeaten. Over the last ten years I have been exploring a plant based diet and the array of endless ingredients that you can add to dishes.
If you are thinking of adding more vegetarian meals to your diet or cutting out animal products all together there are many good resources that can assist you in your quest. A well thought out vegetarian diet brings life to your body, literally. In your asana practice you will feel lighter and more limber. You’ll experience how your mind is more alert and attentive. And spiritually you will feel yoga qualities like respect, compassion and empathy growing inside of you.
“Until mankind can extend the circle of his compassion to include all living things, he will never, himself know peace.”
