I have been told to go Yoga classes with empty stomach and have been doing it for a long time until recently, I got greedy 2 days ago and had a piece of Chinese New Year cookie before I head off for my morning class. Gosh, I felt terrible, like my stomach weigh a ton when i'm doing my morning practice. Alright, not a ton but really uncomfortable. Wonder if any of you have had experience like that. I know of a friend who actually eat free before class, I am actually amused when she told me as I would feel terrible if I do that...
Here's what i found out about food before Yoga, good as a guide, but best to listen to your own body and do what your body says feels good....Cheers!
In general, the stomach should be empty. Food in the stomach can reduce range of motion & energy level, which can affect your strength, stamina as well as your ability to concentrate. In general, before your yoga practice, wait 2-3 hours after eating meat; 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours after carbs/starches; 1/2-1 hour after fruits & veggies. Now you know the issues, and knowing your own metabolism and digestive system, you can make your best decision.

if you have any food, try yoghurt drink, it will be less taxing to your body, and fill you up abit without too much strain.
