Ayurveda helps attune a person with their natural rhythms and aligned with nature herself. The result is a person knows how to use nature’s power to achieve their goals rather than fight against nature. This is particularly useful for athletes who need every competitive advantage they can get. Mostly tips to shave fractions of seconds off a time involve aerodynamic clothes (ie, external tricks). Ayurveda offers a more profound, inner re-connection with the athlete’s inner unlimited reservoir of energy, spontaneity, and mental alertness.
