The obligation to fast exists in several faith traditions…like the Bahai religion we heard about earlier. But an increasing number of people discovered fasting outside the walls of religion – in yoga. That includes Andrew Tanner, who retreated from modern life to focus on learning the practice and the yogic diet. He’s been a yoga teacher for 15 years and is Chief Yoga Advancement office at the Yoga Alliance in Arlington, Va.
