Students often ask
me what and how much to eat before yoga
class. The key is balance. Eat too little
and you may feel lightheaded and weak
during class. Eat too much before class
and you may experience a little reflux
and/or uncomfort bending over. Real yoga
purists advocate eating nothing before
class but that personally doesn't work
for me. As always, you need to listen to
your body. The older I get the more I
make my nutrition choices based on how I
feel after eating. My goal is to feel
energized, happy and good after I
eat.
During the week,
when I go straight from my day job to yoga
class, I need a quick, nutritious and
portable pre yoga snack. I find that a good
protein bar is the perfect choice to
give me enough energy for class without
making me feel too full when I bend and
twist.

Over the last 21 years
of teaching fitness and
yoga classes, I have tried
amost every protein bar on
the market. I
love the "Think Thin" bars
because they never seem to
weigh you down and they
contain 0g sugar.
My personal
favorites are the
Chocolate Fudge and the
Peanut Butter Lite
flavors.
I've been
eating these nutrition bars
for years, and I never seem
to get tired of them, as I
tend to get burned out on
other brands of protein
bars.

to purchase the bars direct
from Amazon.com.

My other favorite is the
Green Energy bars because the
thin chocolate coating makes
the bar taste good even though
it has really good for you
ingredients and the
bar really does give
me energy.
This bar is an organic,
vegetarian, and alkaline meal
supplement. It will give you a
solid base before a yoga class,
and you can feel good that
it contains all natural,
heathy incredients.
I hope you found my pre
yoga class nutrition
bar recommendations
useful. Thank you in
advance for clicking
through the links to
purchase your
bars.
