I try to go to class at least an hour+ after I've eaten a meal. If it's a light class, I've been known to rush off after 30min b/c of time constraints but never full or stuffed. Same goes for my other cardio classes too tho. I don't do hot yoga but I hear that people should wait at least 2 hours since the heat makes things worse:)0

Depends on your digestive system. I can usually practice one hour after a light meal or two after a heavier meal, but mine is pretty speedy.0

I advise most students that a snacek is okay an hour before. But a meal should be at least 2 hours, it will just slow you down and make your practice heavier.0

I eat all the time - so I would eat and then go to yoga class and not think too much of it. I am quite active so my calorie demands are high for someone my size.0

I mainly do hot power yoga, so I wait at least 2 hours after eating. Once I went in the morning and I didn't eat anything, but I was drinking coffee on my way there, and I was so nauseous during the class. I really don't have any waiting restrictions when I do it at home and it's just hatha yoga style.0
