Am I supposed to refrain from eating before or after class? For how long?

Don't eat before class - try to leave 3-4 hours after a regular meal. If you have to eat close to class time, choose something that is light and easily digested. Food in your stomach makes practice harder. In yoga practice we twist from side to side, turn upside down, and bend forward and backward. If you have not fully digested your last meal, it will make itself known to you in ways that are not comfortable. If you are a person with a fast-acting digestive system and are afraid you might get hungry or feel weak during yoga class, experiment with a light snack such as yogurt or a few nuts, juice about 30 minutes to an hour before class. Don't eat immediately after class - half an hour should be sufficient. Use this time to digest the experience. Also,try to avoid caffeine or nicotine for at least one hour before and after yoga practice.
