Yoga for Athletes Bring the experience of Yoga to the level that athletes can relate to. Traditionally, athletes don’t do yoga because of fear of painful stretching or because they think it’s too “far out”. Athletes want to move, they want power. But they also need focus, endurance, and strength within their flexibility. Astanga Yoga brings all this and more to the practice. By linking the postures through flowing movements called vinyasas, and by supporting each held posture with breath and pelvic locks, athletes will experience yoga in ways they can understand and see the value in. Astanga yoga is a full-body, strength and flexibility practice that requires full concentration and focus. It will teach the athlete to use their strength to create flexibility, and to use movement to create release. This practice creates tremendous internal heat, which enhances the “stretchability” of muscles. Even iron will bend if you heat it up! Equipment: Mats
