Best to all

Not that I know of although I think its different for what you are trying to balance.

A lemon in your water or tea I’m sure is fine. But he stressed to make sure its hot. He says that every day he fills up his thermos at home with boiling water and sips it all day long.

Kate,

I’m sure you would be fine to jump right in at a class offered. Yoga relies on a ton of strength but you will gain more (especially core strength) as you practice. And yes, you actually sweat a ton. I sweat more in my yoga classes than I EVER did at spinning class. But that’s just me.

JustJen,

I like the order of your questions. Haha

1.) YES I was totally sore…especially my quads, hips and shoulders.
2.) Kishan says the best time to eat fruit is midday when the sun is high. I know it is very confusing to go against every thing you have been told is healthy from when you were small but try to look at it this way—–no matter how many diets, how much new health ‘advice”, how many whole foods sprout up, america is and always has been the nation leading in obesity, diabetes and disease. You can’t refute those facts. We have more fat people in america than anywhere else in the world. Obviously we are doing something wrong despite all the new diet books that come out every few months, no? This system has been working in India for 5 THOUSAND YEARS. It does sound confusing to us (even me!) but I’m willing to make a change for my health and try something that is different. If you are interested, I highly suggest reading up on the subject online or buying a book. or, looking up an Ayurvedic physician in your area to give you a diagnosis.

Oh, and the oil you use depends on you dosha type. A good website is http://www.banyanbotanicals.com . However, kishan said a general rule of thumb is to use raw organic sesame seed oil in the winter and raw coconut oil in the spring and summer.
