What to Eat Before and After Yoga: Easy Fuel for Every Flow

You’ve unrolled your mat, slipped off your shoes, and you’re ready to move. But then it hits… your stomach growls.

Yoga and food go hand in hand when it comes to feeling your best, but timing and choice make all the difference. Whether you're squeezing in a flow between errands or showing up for your post-drop-off reset, knowing what to eat before and after yoga can boost energy, improve focus, and help your body recover faster.

At Boostoyoos, we’ve got both the yoga and the food covered. Here’s a quick guide to fuelling your flow, plus a few menu favourites we think you'll love.

Before Yoga: Light, Energizing, and Easy to Digest

What you eat before class should fuel your movement without slowing you down. That means steering clear of heavy meals and sticking to simple, nutrient-dense options.

Tips for Pre-Yoga Snacks:

✅ Eat 30 to 60 minutes before class

✅ Focus on light carbs with a little protein or healthy fat

✅ Hydrate with water or a low-sugar beverage

After Yoga: Nourish, Replenish, Restore

Once your class is done and the good vibes are flowing, your body is primed to absorb nutrients. This is the perfect time to load up on whole foods that replenish energy, restore hydration, and support recovery.

Tips for Post-Yoga Meals:

✅ Eat within 30 to 90 minutes of class

✅ Focus on a mix of protein, healthy fat, and complex carbs

✅ Don’t forget hydration, especially after hot yoga
