It provides an in-depth look into the three 'Gunas' i.e. Sattva, Rajas and Tamas and using this concept will discuss about the respective Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic diet.
Module-1: Introduction to Yoga. The Indian Sage Patanjali has been credited with the collation of the classical work, the Yoga Sutra, a 2,000-year-old treatise on yogic philosophy. In order to still our mind, Patanjali, presented a system called Ashtanga Yoga. It is also called eight limbs of the yoga. [ashta= eight, anga=limb]
In order to understand Yogic Nutrition, we shall learn about the first two limbs of Asthanga Yoga i.e. Yamas and Niyamas in Module 1.

Because when these fundamentals and principles are clear to you, then all you need to do is connect the dots which will eventually form into a line pointing you towards a specific direction when it comes to your or your clients nutrition and diet.
