Yoga is known to activate parts of your metabolism that can slow down your desire for high fat foods, however after a session you feel light and most of the people who attend travel light, so with this in mind the recipes here are targeted at specifically dedicated yoga minded people.

The most important part of a good munch is a great drink; you can be less disciplined and join the rest of your peers within the Yoga group by heading straight for the drinks machine. Often this includes high energy drinks or sugar packed fizzy drinks, additionally these drinks will chip into your budget, after-all Yoga is an effective cheap way of remaining healthy minded, so why ruin it in a drink?

So firstly I will share with you my secret drink, that will revitalize your thirst that avoids all the messy sugary additives. After a good Yoga session some homemade Ayran is a great thirst quencher, which with the bonus of having a more focused palette will help you swallow the little snacks mentioned later in the almanac.

Ingredients for Ayran is plain yogurt, most good fridges have a big tub of this in the side cabinet. The bigger the tub the better, a large tub of yogurt with anything up to 2 liters should last you the week, estimating you attend Yoga sessions daily seven days a week. By making a jug full this should be enough for two days worth on the trot. Pour into the jug 500 ml of warm water, from the kettle, add to this your favorite crystallized salt, preferably the diamond shaped flakes because these are good quality and will stimulate your palette better after a good old Yoga session. Take about a teaspoon full from the packet and add to the warm water, then give it a spin until the crystals magically disappear. Now, take the Yogurt from the fridge and pour about 350 ml's of it into the jug of salty water. Give it a whiz then put it back into the fridge. You'll now need a water bottle to add the drink 330ml's is fine, a 500ml will be a bit heavy. If in doubt use a small flask this will keep it cool and yummy and is great if you have to travel quite far to do your Yoga session.
