Traumatized people often have trouble sensing what is going on in their bodies, they lack a nuanced response to frustration. They either react to stress by becoming “spaced out” or with excessive anger. Whatever their response, they often can’t tell what is upsetting them.

Food

Our food is known all over the globe for its taste and variety. All meals are prepared hygienically by an expert chef and the vegetables used are organically grown. Only vegetarian meals are served and are included in the fees of our 200 hour yoga teacher training in India course.

When diet is wrong medicine is of no use. When diet is correct medicine is not needed. ~Ayurvedic Proverb.

Eating the right type of food is an essential part of living a yogic life. Many people think that practising yoga is enough and they don't need to regulate their eating habits. At Rishikesh yoga teacher training centre we believe that yoga is not just an exercise for our mind and body but it is a way of living life. Yoga along with good eating habits can increase the benefits you get from doing yoga.

The food we eat is not only necessary for our physical well-being but also good mental health. The classification of food in the world of yoga is a little different from the scientific world. Instead of classifying food in proteins, fats or carbohydrates, yogic food is classified as - Satva, Rajas and Tamas. Tamasic food makes us feel lazy or sluggish. Rajasic food makes you energetic and may cause restlessness whereas sattvic food makes you feel energetic, enthusiastic and light.

food at rishikesh yttc

We at Rishikesh Yoga Teacher Training Center focus on the well-being of all our students so, all the students are expected to be on a sattvic diet during their stay at the ashram. Sattvic food helps to purify the body and calm the mind. The menu is designed by Master Chef Sandeep Semwal, with many years of experience in working at five-star hotels all around the globe, Chef Sandeep has a vast knowledge about sattvic diet and focuses on hygienic preparation of food so that it doesn't lose its nutritional value which is necessary for a healthy life. Eating too much or too little food can also cause problems even if you are eating healthy food. Overeating can cause lethargy and laziness and eating less than what you need would not provide you with enough energy for your daily routine. Sometimes we know that our stomach is full but we still eat more because of the taste. It is not possible to calculate the right amount of food someone needs using scales and other measurement techniques as every individual requires a different amount of food to function with full efficiency. So, we just need to listen to our body when it tells us to stop eating

It is said that the state of the mind of the person cooking/ eating also affects the food. The energy in the food cooked by someone while he/she was angry will definitely be lower than that of someone who cooked it with a feeling of love, contentment and gratitude. Listening to some soothing music or chanting while cooking and eating can help retain the Prana (life force energy) in the food. It is definitely worthwhile to pay some attention to the food that we eat as the ancient Indian texts say that we are what we eat!

  • Breakfast
