The key to living a yogic life is choosing the right foods. Many people believe that practising yoga on a regular basis is sufficient and that they don't need to change their eating habits. Yoga, at Rishikesh Yog Nirvana, is a way of life rather than merely a manner of physical and mental exercise. When you have good eating habits, yoga can help you reap even greater rewards. As per the ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, we serve vegetarian "Sattvic" meals at our yoga school. Food that is sattvic in nature is simple to digest, which promotes mental peace.
