The link between the two practices are the ‘nadis’ and ‘prana’.

If you are a serious follower of yoga and meditation, it is highly likely that you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, however it is important to note that the type of food for each individual will depend on their health and stage of consciousness in life. The primary problem with most nutrition programs is that they are not orientated towards the individual using them. As we know that every person digests and assimilates food differently therefore, an individualized approach to diet is required which is adapted to the modern lifestyle and the cultures using it. This most comprehensive nutrition system in the world is Ayurveda. Ayurveda which is not an endless repetition of curry dishes but a methodology of structuring diets according to individual metabolic functions. Ayurveda and Yoga is a way of embracing food as life-giving energy, and a way of understanding how your individual nature and the influences around you determine how well particular foods can serve you.
