Yogi, Not Foodie

The yoga blogosphere and twitterverse were a-chatter today over this article in the New York Times: When Chocolate and Chakras Collide. The article describes a yoga/foodie event where people pay to have a gourmet dinner after a yoga class, and then segues into a discussion of various yoga teachers takes on what yogis should and shouldn’t eat. While I don’t believe that yoga has to be all about austerity, it doesn’t seem to be a natural fit for a hedonistic dining experience either (especially one that has to be enjoyed while sitting on your yoga mat after you’ve just used it). Aside from the moralistic debate over diet, I go to yoga to do yoga, not to have dinner. I don’t see this “trend” catching on.
