As a runner that has had a fair share of injuries, I was curious about this book which was recommended to me by my friend who is a rower. Having practiced yoga for 6 years, the nasal breathing techniques and sun salutation warm ups seem like a good idea. Other aspects of the book, I took with a grain of salt such as dietary restrictions and times of day to work out based on body type.

a must read for all athletes and yoga practitioners. It was a major paradigm shift for me.
Liked the connection of ayurvedic principles to fitness and nutrition. Found the breathing techniques and body reading reminders very helpful.
I have spent a lot of time focusing on the nasal breathing techniques explained in this book. While I haven't had an amazing epiphany or really experienced the "runners high", I do think it has helped my running ability and my overall cardiovascular fitness
Didn't like this book at all. Hard to understand. What I got out of it was that people with certain body types will be better at different activities, so those are the activities that you should participate in.
This is a new way for me to run. I'm tired of being tired. So far, I like what I've been reading. This practice integrates Yoga nose-breathing and listening to the body. There's a novel concept.
Dr. Douillard is one of my teachers and both his teachings and this book are a great resource for upgrading the quality of exercise in your life.
Some of the author's ideas may make sense, but the mechanisms he proposes are total crap. It reminded me of the book/video, "The Secret".
My instructor recommended this one. Very interesting approach to exercise.
Ayurvedic principles applied to athletic training with lots of anecdotes.
Author is kookoo
