Hello, I'm Amar
I’m a long-distance cyclist and a taekwondo practitioner. I also practice yoga, trained directly under one of the senior instructors of Shri B.K.S. Iyengar. I’m deeply passionate about sports medicine, exercise physiology, diet optimization, Ayurveda, and toxin-reduction - to drive optimal health and peak performance. And I love analyzing data, which also happens to be my profession.
