From sumo to yogi

He was winning medals around the world while his body was breaking down.

Roy Sims traveled from the sumo rings of Japan to the mountains of Kazakhstan, from the sands of Saudi Arabia to the arenas of America. Three time World Championship competitor. Five time US National Champion. The first American to win gold at the US Sumo Open.

But at nearly 400 pounds, he could barely walk fifteen feet.

Then one day, everything shifted. A new direction. A deeper purpose. Not to become the greatest warrior, but the greatest version of himself.

From Sumo to Yogi is the story of that transformation.

Part memoir, part spiritual guidebook, this book takes you inside the mind and heart of an elite athlete who discovered that true strength isn't found in domination, but in surrender. In breath. In stillness. In presence.

Inside you'll discover:

• The ancient practices of yoga and Ayurveda that sparked lasting change
• How to work with your body's natural rhythms instead of against them
• Practical sadhanas (daily practices) you can begin today
• Wisdom from Native American, Vedic, Sufi, and Christian traditions
• A four-moon transformation framework for sustainable change
• The truth about healing that no diet book will tell you
