Yoga & diet question...

I've started doing power yoga about a month ago and I love it, I think it's a great exercise. But I didn't actually give up my eating habits (I can't give up meat and once a month I let myself go and eat something extremely delicious and bad for me). So, after the last time I had pizza I did my yoga routine(not right after eating the pizza but in the same evening), the thing is that right after that I felt incredibly sick and I threw up (it was like the yoga was rejecting it). Does anyone else get that or does anyone know why that happened?

Bad pizza?  Usually hard exercise and greasy food do not get along well.

How soon after eating the pizza was it?  Yoga really requires an empty stomach, I'd probably wait at least 2-3 hours after eating pizza to practice.  If I'm really hungry before yoga, I'll have a piece of fruit, but not much else.  Or I'll go easy on the twists & inversions if I've eaten more recently.

Yoga is a unique exercise that stimulates (depending on the poses) a lot of internal organs. Many of the poses in yoga massage the toxins out of your system (which is why after a good yoga session you are sore for a couple of days) through the deep stretches and breathing. When you eat food that isnt "all that good for you," your body could reject it after yoga--because it sees it as a toxin.
