Food
Daily freshly made vegetarian meals are included in the price. The food is fully prepared hygienically and the vegetable is organic. Rishikesh Yog Shiksha's food is well known all around the world for its taste and varieties. When the diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When the diet is correct, medicine is of no need (Ayurvedic proverb).
"Isn’t it enough just to practice yoga, do we have to regulate our food?" many wonders. In itself, practicing yoga is not just a healthy life, but at Rishikesh Yog Shiksha, they believe that it is also a way of living, but when complemented with healthy food habits, it can really create wonders. In fact, eating the right food is an essential part of living a yogic life. What we eat not only influences our physical wellbeing, but also our emotions and thoughts.
Yoga does not dissect food into proteins, carbohydrates, or fats, instead, it classifies them according to the effect they have on the body and mind, into three types - Satva, Rajas, and Tamas. Tamasic food is the kind of food that makes us lethargic or sluggish, while Rajasic food is that which brings about activity or restlessness. Whereas, Sattvic food is the kind that makes you feel light, energetic, and enthusiastic.
