A lot of you have been asking what David and Jelena actually eat, so here it is. They share why they are both vegan, how the choice ties into their Ashtanga tradition, and the honest, practical side of eating like a daily practitioner. They also get into why veganism can be a privilege and why they never approach it from a place of judgment.
