Vegetarianism has deep connections with yoga. The yoga philosophy principle of non-violence (Ahimsa) extends to our relationship with all beings, including our food choices. Many practitioners naturally become interested in vegetarianism during their yoga journey.

Vegetarianism isn't just an ethical choice — it offers many bodily benefits. Plant-based diets are usually easier to digest, making practice more comfortable; they also often leave the body feeling lighter and mind clearer. Many practitioners find practice quality improves after transitioning to vegetarianism.

You don't need to become fully vegetarian overnight. Start by reducing meat, trying more plant-based meals, observing your body's response. Yoga teaches listening to body wisdom — the same applies to food choices. Find what works best for you.
