Answer 2

120 minutes

Explanation:

It is best to practice yoga on an empty stomach. In general, it's best to avoid eating for 2 hours before asana or pranayama. If you are starving and want to practice yoga but need some nourishment, it’s fine to eat a banana or have a little juice to sustain you through the practice. You have to avoid eating anything heavy like fried food or burritos before yoga.

After yoga, it is better to wait 30 min before you eat, so your body won't go into food shock.
