I instruct two yoga classes back to back with a half hour break in between. I rely on protein bars to keep my energy up.

The link is incorrect. It is www.detourbar.com

No way, because they have whey protein--not vegan, and a processed food instead of whole. Basically junk (read The China Study) in an environmentally unfriendly wrapper.

I will have simple bars occasionally--Organic Fiber bars (though I don't need the fiber, they are primarily whole foods and useful in a pinch) and Lara bars, for example.

I'm a big fan of energy bars, especially Cliff Bars. I'm mostly a pitta, so I get hungry every couple of hours, and energy bars help me make it until the next meal. I find that I need some kind of nourishment before yoga class, so I drink a fruit smoothie. When I go to class on a completely empty stomach, my tummy makes all sorts of weird gurgles during pranayama, which can be very distracting and a bit embarrassing. After class, I'm starving. Sometimes, during corpse pose at the end of class, I find my thoughts turning toward food. After class, I eat an energy bar while I cook dinner.

I can't wait to try these! I've tried the other Detour energy bars and they taste great, so these should be good, too.

I would definitely try these new bars, especially if they relieve stress. I usually listen to music to relieve my stress which helps. I heard there's a new CD coming out, Sacred Blessings by Kosmic music. I think Anthony Robbins picked all the songs, which are from all different faiths. I can't wait until it comes out, and it should be available it most stores. So between that and those bars I should be set!
