Fuel, Flow, Focus: What to Drink Before Yoga or Pilates

You don’t need a pre-workout powder or 6 am caffeine spike to get into your body. You need the right kind of fuel—gentle, steady, and supportive.

Especially for low-impact workouts like yoga and Pilates, the goal is clarity, not stimulation. 

Why Pre-Workout Fuel Still Matters
Even light movement burns energy. Without a little fuel, you risk:

  • Early fatigue
  • Muscle breakdown
  • Blood sugar dips mid-class

Your body deserves to be nourished before you move it.

Matcha vs. Neutral Protein: Which to Use?
Matcha Protein:

  • Best for morning flows
  • Gives calm alertness + light caffeine
  • L-theanine helps you stay centered

Dark Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Neutral Protein:

  • Great if you’ve already had caffeine
  • Flavorless and flexible
  • Ideal for midday or evening classes

When to Drink It

30–45 mins before class. Blend with almond milk or warm oat milk. Skip sugary bars, dairy-based coffee, or heavy carbs

Why N99 Works Pre-Flow

  • Plant-based and easily digestible
  • Enriched with B12 and iron
  • Supports recovery without bloating

Ritual Over Stimulation
Fuel isn’t just about muscles—it’s about mental clarity. Add this to your yoga routine and feel the shift.
