Good Question. The Bhagavad Gita says something like yoga is not for those that eat to much, sleep to much, ect….To mae in a way this is dogmatic and I think any thing that is dogmatic is best caste off. But after pondering this passage I have come up with a more practical, less domagtic interpretation: If you eat to much, you will have a really hard time doing yoga for the next few days, you won’t get all the benefits of yoga either…. Same with sleep, ect. If one chronically eats to much it would interfere with a regular practice, same with sleep, drinking, drugs or any other habitual behavior….The best advice I have heard as related toi this is to detach your self from those things that interfere with your regular daily practice….Equally good advice is moderation in moderation. To an extent asana is hedonistic sometimes sadistic masochistic sensory pleasure, but more importantly it’s Sattvic! -Alex – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Is the persute of hedonistic sensory pleasure counter to the yogic process, even where the rights and needs of others are respected?
