Adhering to the ancient science of ‘Ayurveda’ we, at the Rishikesh Yog Nirvana serve vegetarian “Sattvic” food. Certain types of foods, especially non-vegetarian food causes considerable harm to the body if consumed excessively. They increase fat and raise cholesterol levels causing significant damage to the heart. On the other hand, Sattvic food is easy to digest and low on fat and cholesterol.

Sattvic food being easy to digest helps calm the mind bringing inner peace. Such food makes an individual compassionate and kind. That learning yoga at the ashram has felt no need for non-vegetarian food after only a few weeks. It has helped them focus on life and made them spiritually stronger.
