Please comment on diet and water intake - your typical advice to your clients, etc.

Light water intake before a practice is ok. Yoga should be done no less than 2 hours after a meal, preferably 3. Especially with twists and inversions! You will feel it. Keeping well hydrated is vital. Simple eating is usually best, whole foods (ie as unprocessed as possible). Though it is hard to do in today's time-crunched, over-processed society, it is vital to health, I believe. If you eat meat, limit how much you eat to a couple of servings a week. I always think about these things from an evolutionary standpoint: our bodies evolved in such a way to be in harmony with our environment. We ate whole foods and meat rarely (Looking back 50,000 years ago it was scarce for us in our daily diet)

In your opinion, what is the greatest benefit of yoga and what do you tell people about yoga to get them interested in it?

Yoga is a beautiful way to lead a life that brings you into harmony with yourself, the people in your life and nature. It is a holistic system that makes us the healthiest we can be physically, physiologically & psychologically. It helps us maintain our youthful natures and age gracefully. It helps us to wake up from the fractured illusions we weave and create as our internal lives. It helps us live life with joyful, profound equanimity. Who doesn't want this?
