When practicing yoga, food will move with the body in the stomach. Therefore, if you practice yoga just after eating, it is not good for your health. Moreover, yoga not only acts on the body, but also acts on energy. If there is something in the stomach, energy can't reach every part of the body. Most of the energy will flow to the digestive system to digest food, and practice is useless.

So it is best to practice yoga on an empty stomach in the morning. However, complete fasting is not mandatory, because generally speaking, the interval between exercise and dieting is one hour. However, if you eat plenty of food, you should practice for at least three to four hours.

Besides, you have to wait for half an hour or an hour to eat after practice, otherwise all your efforts will be in vain. Besides, you won't feel particularly hungry after practicing yoga, because yoga practice itself can replenish your body's energy through breathing, which is one of the reasons why yoga practice emphasizes breathing.

Yoga on an empty stomach is not a hard and fast rule.

In fact, this requirement of practicing yoga on an empty stomach is not absolute. If you are not used to or should not practice on an empty stomach, such as people with low blood sugar, you can eat some digestible food one hour before practice, such as milk, yogurt, honey, juice and so on. Furthermore, you don't need an empty stomach to exercise your shoulders, neck, feet and legs, but you can do it after meals.

In addition, in yoga, it is not necessary to practice the binding method of cleaning internal organs on an empty stomach.
