Ideally, it is best to eat the biggest meals when your digestive fire (agni) is at its highest
via The 400-Calorie Fix and Ayurveda.
According to Ayurvedic principles, your digestive fire is at it’s highest at noon. Â Lunch should be your biggest meal. Â A morning yoga practice prepares your body for this meal.
Today’s class was great. The instructor seemed to explain things in more detail this time and assisted people deeper into the poses. I learned that my hands can go higher when I do reverse Namaste. Also, I’m not sure how many times I’ve heard this, but it finally clicked today, that when stretching in a forward bend you are supposed to engage the muscle you are stretching to protect it from injury. It seems to actually help you stretch deeper too. I knew this from teaching Bikram poses, I just hadn’t applied the same rules to the poses common in other disciplines of yoga.
