Mind Over Muscle

Serena Williams, often hailed as one of the greatest tennis players of all time, once said, “I love the game. I love competing. I love the challenge.” This passion, this love for the game, is what fuels her incredible athleticism. It’s her ability to fully immerse herself in the moment, to be present on the court, that sets her apart.

Or take Simone Biles, the gymnast who redefined the sport with her gravity-defying moves. She's often described as having a "fearless" spirit. Not only physical prowess; but mental toughness and a deep connection with her body. She demonstrated so much strength that she had the courage to prioritize her mental health over her athletic performance, despite the criticism.

These athletes know their bodies intimately, and they've learned to harness their minds to achieve extraordinary feats. The Yogis understood this concept thousands of years ago. They believed that by directing your vital energy, or prana, towards specific parts of the body through focused movement, you could enhance your physical performance.
