Food
Food has always been revered in India since ancient times. The mental state of the person cooking the food, the way of cooking it, and the emotions of the server play a very significant role. It is believed to directly impact the physical and mental well-being of the person consuming it. There is a famous saying, "As is the food, so is the mind," highlighting the importance of food in influencing one's mood and overall health. Keeping this in mind, at 8 Limb Yoga School, the chefs prepare sattvic food with great reverence, compassion, and care. This meal nourishes the body and mind of aspiring yogis on their transformational path.
We provide three nutritious vegetarian meals daily, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
