About the Yogic Plant Based Diet
To practice yoga in its entirety, a plant-based diet is recommended. This type of diet develops sattva, which is the positive quality of love, connection, awareness, and peace with all beings. Sattva supports the concept of ahisma, which means non-harming. Individuals who follow a sattvic diet don’t eat foods that are created by the harming or killing of animals. The diet also promotes foods that are grown naturally.
Diet in Combination with Yoga and Hypnotherapy
Regularly practicing yoga asanas, pranayamas, and meditation heightens the individual’s level of self awareness, and this inner wisdom and knowledge guides the individual to the right food. The individual becomes more aware and sensitive to what he or she eats.
