Guest guest Report post Posted August 16, 1999 I'd be really interested to know about other yogis experiences with diet in relation to practice. In other words, have you made any discoveries about your diet and its effect on your asana practice?<br><br>So far, I've found that one particular verse from the HY Pradipika is absolutely true in respect to my own practice: OVEREATING DESTROYS YOGA.<br><br>Beyond that, I'm doing a bit of experimenting to see what effect diet has on my flexibility. <br><br>Does cutting out sugar have any effect? What does decreasing the amount of salt do? Raw foods? High intake of fluids? (One raw foodist-yogi said that most fruitarians of his aquaintance were actually stiffer that most folks).
