What to eat before and after your Yoga sessions

Firstly, it is crucial to stay aptly hydrated before you start practising. So, drink enough water before you start your session.

Also, eat a small snack 60-90 minutes before your session.

Some of the best options are a banana or a handful of berries or a protein shake.

If you're really short on time, grab a glassful of almond milk/juice.

Avoid drinking a lot of caffeine before your session, especially if you've had a cup or two of tea/coffee through the day. We say so because caffeine is dehydrating, thus it isn't a great choice before performing Yoga.

Also, never eat a big meal before your session. A full stomach would make it difficult for you to get into Yoga poses. Hence, eat light.

Once you are done with your Yoga session, grab a couple of glasses of electrolyte water or coconut water. This will help replenish your body and prevent dehydration.

Also, eat a nutritious and filling meal after your session.

After morning sessions, try having an omelette with lots of veggies.

In case of evening sessions, have grilled salmon and veggies for dinner.

After a sweaty Yoga session, don't uncork a wine bottle or grab a pint of beer. Because if you end up doing so, you are risking yourself for dehydration, which might bring along mild to severe headaches.

Also, avoid indulging in your love for sugars. And even if you're going to have some, make sure it's unrefined sugar such as an oatmeal.
