Greetings and welcome back!
Here are parts 2 and 3 of my series on Ashtanga and Diet. If you haven’t watched part 1, I strongly suggest you watch it. I have included it in this post for your convenience. I am so pleased to see such a strong and enthusiastic reaction to these diet posts. I have seen amazing progress in students practices once they alter their diet. Even the slightest changes can result in less injury, faster recovery and FULL STRENGTH! I have also added some great diet books on my reading list page of this blog.
Joy and I have bought our tickets for Mysore in January and my one month Mysore intensive in Kovalam! We are looking forward to meeting some new faces and having lunch with some old friends.
Hari Om and enjoy!!




David – Thank you for making these videos. I have really enjoyed them and look forward to seeing what else you have in store for the Ghetto Kitchen! I have been a dedicated student of Ashtanga (Mysore-style) for the past 5 months and have recently become very interested in what I’m eating, it’s prana as you say, and how it affects my yoga practice. I have a question for you. I have been purchasing solely organic produce from my local supermarkets however most often it comes from Mexico or somewhere else not local to my region (CT). We have had an influx of farmers markets to our area this year and I wonder, even though most of the farmers market produce I have seen is not ‘certified’ organic, would you prefer to buy local non-organic produce vs. organic non-local? I am grateful for your insight. Namaste.
