Yogic Food - Sattvic Diet
Food plays an important role in
yogic lifestyle and so yoga practice.
Did you ever think that the
food you eat may be the technique for deepening of Yoga and meditation? At SriYoga Peeth, we keep food as a priority and so offer Sattvic diet to our
students. Sattvic diet has been verified by the saints and monks and considers
useful in yogic practice for a guaranteed success!
Whatever we eat directly shows results in our health and so as Yoga is much more related to Heath, then Right Diet should be the topmost priority!
Yoga comes from the soul and
practice by the body!
So, it is very much necessary
to maintain a proper balance between these so and for this purpose, Sri YogaPeeth offers Sattvic Diets to students at our yoga school in Rishikesh.
Sattvic Diet???? What is it?
As per the philosophy of yoga
& Ayurveda; there are 3 qualities (gunas) present in different amounts in
all things in nature, i.e.,
- Raja (shows the quality hot, spicy & fast)
- Tama (shows the quality slow, lethargic & bland)
- Sattva (shows the quality purity & harmony)
The hot, salty, spicy or bitter
nature of Rajasic food excite the passions by overstimulating your mind!
The bland quality of the
Tamasic food affects negatively the physical & mental well-being of the
body!

it the purest diet and so most suitable for a yoga student. It is a way more
helpful in maintaining a peaceful balance between body and mind.
