Sports Performance Yoga

There is an athlete in all of us. It doesn’t matter where you come from or what your particular situation is. What matters is thinking of yourself as an athlete, having athletic goals and reaping the rewards of being more active.

Yoga will enhance sports performance. A regular yoga practice prevents injury, enhances muscle function, and reduces stress — three key components of sports performance.

Yoga improves flexibility, balance, coordination, and lung function. It can also help athletes effectively manage stress, an often forgotten but key contributor to recovery and performance.

Yoga makes good athletes better. Yoga imparts flexibility, balance, and whole-body strength, creating improvements in an athlete’s form, efficiency, and power. Also, yoga’s attention to concentration and breath awareness improves mental focus and mental endurance—hidden assets for athletes.

In sport and in everyday life we underuse certain muscles while overusing others. Overtime, this can lead to reduced mobility and cause discomfort within the body and injury as muscles become shorter through overuse, or weaker. Yoga for athletes is for everyone looking to increase mobility, flexibility, strength, and metal focus for improved sports performance.
