Why the Best Self Challenge is uniquely effective...
Transformation requires an integrated approach
While many programs offer fragments of transformation, the Best Self Challenge: Living Liberated provides an integrated approach that covers every essential aspect of personal freedom and growth.
- Surface-level tactics and mindset shifts alone aren't enough for lasting transformation. True freedom comes from a deep, holistic approach that addresses mind, body, and spirit.
-
Physical strength without inner resilience only goes so far. The Best Self Challenge integrates heart-centered strength and mental clarity, empowering you from the inside out.
- True transformation is sustainable. This journey gives you tools to build genuine alignment with your life purpose, nurturing freedom, peace, and abundance that lasts.

Here's the truth:
The Power of Freedom is Within YOU!
The Best Self Challenge is more than physical practice; it’s about uncovering and stepping into your true potential. This experience isn’t just about poses, routines, or surface-level goals—it’s about breaking through limits, connecting deeply with your inner strength, and embracing the freedom to create the life you envision.
"The Best Self Challenge is a must for anyone ready to live a liberated life. The community and insights have empowered me beyond measure."

- You’re looking for a quick fix. Real transformation takes time, dedication, and consistency. If you’re hoping for instant results without putting in the work, this program may not align with your expectations.

Featuring
Juliana Lima
UFC Fighter
Juliana Lima (Ju Thai) is a former UFC fighter and accomplished martial artist who brings her passion for combat sports and personal growth to the Best Self Challenge. Her journey began at 17 when she started training in Muay Thai, quickly earning the nickname "Ju Thai" from her gym mates. By 19, Juliana was already competing professionally in Muay Thai, balancing her fighting career with a university degree in tourism.
At 23, driven by an intense passion for fighting and competition, Juliana made the bold decision to leave her tourism career and fully dedicate herself to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Her unwavering commitment and growing desire to become a champion led her to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the world's premier MMA organization. Throughout her seven fights in the UFC, Juliana experienced moments of triumph, challenge, and profound personal growth.
Today, Juliana channels her wealth of experience into coaching, helping to shape the next generation of champions both in and out of the ring. Her journey from a young Muay Thai enthusiast to a UFC fighter and now a respected coach embodies the spirit of perseverance, adaptability, and continuous self-improvement that the Best Self Challenge represents.
Juliana's unique perspective on overcoming obstacles, pushing beyond perceived limits, and the power of dedication makes her an invaluable addition to the Best Self Challenge. Her guidance will inspire participants to tap into their inner strength, embrace challenges, and transform their lives both physically and mentally.
But it wasn't always this way...
Padma's journey towards abundance is marked by courageous triumphs over personal challenges — overcoming the shadows of depression, navigating co-dependent relationships, and persevering through physical injuries, from a severe IT Band and hip injury to a dislocated elbow, all healed through the transformative tools of Ayurveda Yoga. Having faced the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic as a business owner, Padma exemplifies the path of mastery, turning adversity into opportunities for growth and manifesting her vision.
Padma's story is a testament to the transformative power of Ayurveda Yoga, showcasing how one can rise above challenges, emerge stronger, and lead with wisdom and compassion. Through her lived experiences, Padma embodies the essence of the teachings she imparts, inspiring others to transcend their obstacles and thrive in their journey towards wellness and abundance.
Juliana, too, has faced her share of obstacles, rising above them with relentless resilience and strength. As a former UFC Champion, she knows the grit it takes to overcome physical and mental barriers. Her journey reveals the power of perseverance, showing that no obstacle is insurmountable when fueled by purpose and determination. Together, Padma and Juliana bring a dynamic blend of wisdom, strength, and inspiration to guide you on your own path to liberation.
