Namaste Sweetu. After eating you can do you yoga, only one posture. That is VAJRA Asan. Vajra asan will help you improve your digestion and steady your mind. Sit on floor with both legs straight. Bend your right leg from knee and heels below your buttocks. Now bend your left leg and keep the heels below your buttocks. Both toes touching together. Heels touching together.

Hi Sweetu. After a full meal, you need to keep a gap of 2.5-3 hours to do yoga. After light fluids, like black tea or juice, a gap of min.45 minutes is required. After snacks, a gap of 1-1.5 hours depending upon the content of the snacks, is required before doing yoga.
