Next stop, India. I needed to go to the place, where everything started. I travelled to three different states in the southern part of India. I learned about the benefits of breathwork in an Ashram in Tamil Nadu. I then went to an Ayurveda clinic in Kerela and learned about Ayurveda, the science of life. It is a sister science of yoga and an ancient system of medicine that focuses on promoting good health applying a more preventative approach than a remedial approach. When treating an illness, it deals with the root cause of the problem instead of only treating the symptoms. There I learned about clinical yoga and how yoga can help heal some of the physical ailments of the body. I studied about Ayurvedic nutrition and about the impact food has on our emotions, our physical and mental wellbeing. I learned about the importance of understanding our body, our unique composition and understanding that there is no ‘perfect’ diet that meets all the requirements. There is no one size that fits all. Instead, we need to learn what’s good for us as individuals. What’s good for me, may not necessarily be good for you. In Mysore, I was deepening my yoga practice while exploring my physical limits. Are there any? When you put all the pieces together, you realise that everything is connected and that every component is critical for our health and performance. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. Finding and maintaining that balance is key. This is how SANARAS was born. A holistic approach that takes all these elements into consideration, when helping you reach your goals.
