Improve your sports performance with yoga

A well-rounded yoga practice includes dynamic flexibility training, core stabilization, breathwork, strengthening and balance work. By focusing on these vital elements, yoga can help you recover faster after workouts, open up the tight areas that hinder performance, improve range of motion, and develop mental focus and concentration.


Physical Benefits

Yoga will help prevent injuries, rehabilitate current injuries and speed up recovery.  We will increase core body strength, flexibility and improve balance and body control.  Yoga promotes muscular symmetry and aligned and stabilized joints.  Muscles are lengthened and pain is alleviated.  Oxygen intake is improved through learning yogic breathwork. The body is relaxed with a renewed energy level. 


Mental benefits

Yoga helps athletes learn how to be "in the moment" and perform "in the zone". It gives athletes the mental edge and helps them learn how to stay relaxed in competition.  Focus, concentration and spatial awareness are increased.  Yoga brings awareness to the breath, increases anxiety, reduces stress and calms the mind.  Yoga connects the breath, mind and the body.
