Yoga for Athletes Intensive

In this intensive, appropriate for all levels of yoga and fitness experience, you’ll learn why yoga can serve as a valuable addition to your, or your students’, sport specific training regimen. You will learn how to increase performance on the mat, field, court or open road. We will spend time discussing specific poses focused on increasing flexibility and strength. You will learn how yoga will serve as a visual and mental supplement, through performance breathwork. We will briefly discuss self myofascial release (SMR) and how this technique can help prevent injury and offer relief. No matter what your athletic or yoga experience is, you’ll have a better understanding of practical ways to incorporate yoga into your training or teaching program. You will leave with a new outlook on the possibilities that yoga provides and have the tools to become a better athlete, coach or teacher.
