What you will learn
When I first put together this course, my goal was to really hone in on what you, as an athlete, need most to optimize your performance. I've carefully selected teachings that illustrate how powerful and transformative Ayurvedic practices can be when it comes to nutrition and digestion. Imagine understanding your body so well that you know exactly what to fuel it with, and when, to maximize your training results and race day achievements. This isn't just about lists of foods; it's about aligning your eating habits with your body's natural rhythms to support digestion, recovery, and energy levels. We've meticulously organized the sessions to build upon each other, creating a comprehensive framework that's easy to follow and incredibly practical. I'm excited for you to dive into this knowledge, apply it to your daily routines, and feel the profound effects it has not only in your athletic endeavors but in your overall quality of life.
