23 Comments on How Yoga Affects Your Life – Ahimsa and the Yoga Diet with Kino MacGregor

  1. Yes it’s the same for me now I’m vegan, but then i thought of my dog that needs meat,though I’m not eating it, it almost feels as though it’s still doing the same harm in a way, however changing a dogs diet to vegan when in the wild they would eat meat it’s almost changing the way of mother nature, so I’m pulled between the two, therefore I wanted to ask your opinion on this specially if you have a pet yourself, in this case I’ll research into it. Thankyou for your replies+personal view on this.

  2. Dog are omnivores, they can survive and thrive on a vegan diet as long as you get the right vitamins and minerals and ph balance for them.
    Cats are carnivores, but so far some have been able to be healthy on a vegan diet as long as the ph balance is right for them and they taurine etc, but not all cats can be healthy on it, my diabetic cat cannot, also cats prone to bladder crystals.
    I was vege for 10yrs and have been plant based vegan mostly raw for 2 yrs, cats are an ongoing dilemma for me.

  3. From an energetic stand point, foods like animal products dampen your intuitive and psychic abilities, they act like blocks. So the cleaner your diet becomes the more you will open up, the more you will feel, see, know connect to the energy around you. Sounds like you were seeing auras and the energetic flow. If it is too much for you transition slower. I am a practitioner in energy works, emotions and plant based diets so it makes perfect sense to me.

  4. Dear kino, I’ve always been a believer of Karma. Ever since I started Ashtanga, I’ve been more conscious of my relationship with people, animals and the environment. I had a sudden feeling of sadness today when I had a realization of the amount of suffering that I’ve caused to other beings these past 24years of my life for my own physical benefit.

  5. All sentient beings have a place here on earth and I am in no position to take their lives for my own physical benefit. I’m starting on a vegetarian diet and hope to stay with it. 🙂

  6. That when the desire to follow a vegetarian diet and a peaceful lifestyle comes from the heart. I feel the same connection and I send you my love and support.

  7. Do you eat fish and hypothetically speaking, could a yogi be non vegetarian? I don’t eat much meat at all (about once a week). But I don’t think that I can lay it off completely.

  8. thank you so much for being this way, and sharing ahimsa.  this is almost the same talk i gave to my students.  and sadly i had to bring this up to all the teachers at my yoga studio, because they really dont seem to value this, and so i don’t seem to think they are in the heart of yoga.  I even read conscious eating and shared text from that.   thanks for the padmasana videos too.  om and prem -dharmadeva

  9. vegetarian, vegan diet will bring peace on earth. our mind becomes calm, as we eat veg. don’t take curse of animals, they have equal freedom to live on earth peacefully, let they have natural death, should not murdered by selfish human race. for past thousands of years Indian philosophy considers nature as our relatives.

    • For dogs and cats they are by nature being born as tamasic animals ( that means they can’t live longer without fish and meat) . So serve food according to one’s nature ( SATVIC , RAJASIC AND TAMASIC) .According to Ayurveda these three gunas is present in universe (i.e these three gunas or qualities are present in universal form) . These three gunas or qualities are present in human beings also ( ONE OR OTHER QUALITIES ARE OVERPOWERING EACH OTHER) . For the sake of world peace one must consume vegetarian foods or foods obtain through non-violence (i.e. satvic foods) .

  10. I just started watching all of your videos……you inspired me to go on the mat and do Ashtanga Yoga…..after watching this video I wondered one more time why you are not vegan yet? I am aline with all what you said in the video and would therefore had expected you to be vegan….sorry I just don’t get it……***

  11. You are missing something important here,because more people don’t know how milk extraction is done in this and most countries, and I will tell you how.
    In order to give milk, the cow has to have a baby calve, 24 to 72 hours later the calve is taken away from the mother and both cry desperately .If is a male, it doesn’t have any value to the dairy industry and it will be kept for month separated from the mother and fed artificial milk and then killed and sold as veal.
    If is a female the same but they don’t kill it because it will be abused when it grows.
    The mother is kept in a very small place where is injected with hormones , antibiotics and tranquilizers.
    So if you consume dairy products I ask:WHERE IS AHIMSA,ASTEYA,SAUCHA AND COMPASSION??????
    People who eat dairy are stealing milk drom animals that are terribly abused.
    This recomendations where done in India where the cows are sacred and is not the case in the rest of the world.
    YOGI DIET SHOULD BE PLANT BASE ONLY

  12. If you talk about Ahimsa the diet should be VEGAN, watch how the dairy industry extracts milk( HORROR)
    So please inform yourself we have ALL TOGETHER STOP THIS NONSENSE
