FREE Yoga for Athletes for the month of June!
All Levels
Taught by Yoga-Athletes
 
The purpose of this class is to enhance athletic performance through yoga that will hone in on building strength, mental focus and flexibility.  Sports often involve repetitive motions that cause muscle strain, tightness and compression.  The adverse effects of athletics often lead to impeding our performance, whether due to pain or full blown injuries.  Yoga for Athletes focuses on counteracting damage to the body by building overall strength and stamina.
 
This class is appropriate for people involved in all types of physical activities but most specifically running, swimming and/or cycling.  This class is unique in that participants will be led through poses that focus directly on areas athletes often neglect such as core, back, shoulder, overall leg strength and stretching. Yoga for Athletes is identified as an all-levels class, not because it’s going to be easy or just an advanced lesson in stretching, but because participants will be encouraged to and provided advice on how to work to their edge, based on their sport, level of flexibility, and ability.  Finally, this class is taught by fellow athletes, also registered as yoga instructors who therefore have a personal connection to the needs of athletes.
