01 Food & Sattvic Dining

Sattvic Food: It's Significance

At the Veda Yoga Ashram we see that the true Yoga is beyond the mat. The right kind of food is as important as the physical practice itself, and our program is a holistic approach to wellbeing, starting with the food.

We offer freshly prepared sattvic foods, based on ancient ayurvedic teachings that food directly affects the mind, body and spirit. Sattvic diet revolves around the use of pure, natural and wholesome food items without any fried, processed, canned and artificially preserved food items. This type of nutrition is beneficial for the heart and blood vessels, helps normalize cholesterol, and provides a healthy digestive process and assimilation of nutrients. A sattvic diet has also been linked over the years to a decrease in the incidence of diabetes and lifestyle diseases, making it an ideal partner to a deep yoga and meditation practice.

Each of our meals is carefully prepared and planned and is as nutritious as it is delicious.

What we offer:

Two freshly delicious and healthy vegetarian meals per day
Vegan and gluten-free meals available upon request
Drinking water is safe and clean, available at all times.
Fresh seasonal fruits all day:
Ayurvedic tea corner with restorative herbal teas.

Balancing the Diet

One of the most natural and effective ways to restore balance to the body is to follow a sattvic diet. When you eliminate fried, processed and canned foods, along with the extra salt, refined sugars and artificial additives that accompany them, your body has the opportunity to do what it's designed to do. Such changes in food consumption make a significant difference to the health of the heart and blood vessels and can help maintain cholesterol balance and lower the burden on the heart in the long run.

The benefits are more than heart related. Sattvic foods are naturally light, easily digested, clean, and packed with vital nutrition that the body is able to absorb easily, efficiently and with minimal effort. A healthy digestive process leads to a healthy body. There is better nutrient absorption, energy levels are more evened out and better care of the gut flora, which is now known to be vital to general health. It's not just a diet; this subtle, yet effective, way of eating has long been associated with a reduced risk of developing illness like diabetes, or lifestyle related ones. It is a deliberate act of care for the body, mind and health.
