Woody Harrelson, a longtime Yoga enthusiast and vegan, is in the news:

As a Yogini I routinely fast. In fact, its a good practice on new and full moons.

Now .. as I explain to my students, this does not always have to be without food. A fast, for example, can be drinking only fruit juices from sunrise to sunset, or eating only salad all day, or observing Meatless Monday:

Doing it twice a month, on the moon phases, is a traditional Yoga practice. But more important, it makes us feel so much better, lighter, and energized!
