Scriptural reference about not drinking water

Salutations,

I teach and practice Vinyasa and Ashtanga Vinyasa and for the longest

time I keep mentioning to my students NOT to drink water during the

practice, as has been taught to me over the years.

 

My questions for the yogis in this group are:

 

1. What texts mention that we should not drink water during the

practice?

 

2. What texts mention only using the right foot in first when doing

padmasana? I know about the prana/nadis and solar energy, so that

doesn't escape me, BUT... surely there must be cause to switch the

cross of the legs, perhaps at different times of the day or even from

the start of the practice to the end of the practice.

 

3. Same on showers after practice. Yes yes, wait before you shower

and people keep quoting it... but, is it written somewhere for

reference?

 

I have checked Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Shiva Samhita, and Gherand

Samhita. I'm opening a new school with showers and I thought it would

be nice to have the authoritative source.

 

 

Thanks,

Adrian Cox

Hi there,

I believe that the Yoga Mala written by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois talks

about when to shower after the practice etc..

As for the other two questions, I believe that is how Guruji teachers

it but I don't know if it could be found in any texts.

 

Shanthi,

Carmen

Adrian,

 

I'm just beginning at Ashtanga, thet's why I've been researching a

lot, specially at internet. I read something about hot shower after

practice and drinking juices before it at the Holistic on line home

page (http://www.holistic-

online.com/Yoga/hol_yoga_pos_whenandwhere.htm). I hope it helps.

I personally don't drink water or do anything else that would interrupt the flow

of the

practice.

Ashtanga should be a continuious meditation from beginning to end.
