Transition

The reason why yoga is so important a part of this transition and lifestyle is that it assures the most efficient elimination of the poisons releasing into your bloodstream as the body ejects them in its re-assertion of it’s own domain which relied upon sufficient energy to enable.

So start doing a powerful Astanga or Power Yoga class 3 times a week. So matter what kind of diet you have now, you can start to do yoga 3 times a week. So the first month of a transition time might have no dietary implications at all and simply involves the physical practice of yoga. This will build initial strength and energy reserves, as you begin to sleep better.

The next month eliminate flesh foods and rejoice in that decision, it is not a deprivation but a gift to ourselves and the planet. Begin to eat as much fruit as you can and try to eat fruit when hungry instead of other “snacks”. Next month is time to eliminate dairy foods.

Always take it slow, it could be a year instead of a month, or it could be a week instead of a month, it is up to you and where you are at and thus what your needs are now.

Now begin to do some yoga 4-5 times a week and see if you can do it everyday.
