Yoga for sports

Although yoga and sports appear to be two extremes, they complement each other entirely - both requiring strength, balance, flexibility and focus.

Yoga postures can correct muscle imbalances resulting from high impact training, aligning the joints, improving bone density, lengthening and strengthening the muscles to prevent pain and injury, particularly in injury-prone zones: hips, hamstrings, knees, achilles tendon and iliotibial band.

Standing yoga postures correctly align the knee, strengthen the arches to provide better shock absorbers and maintain healthy connective tissue in the foot and shin. Balancing and strenghtening poses toughen up and lengthen the supporting muscle groups helping to decrease the risk of injury.

Yoga cultivates awareness of any resistance, promotes the release of tension to avoid injury and improves circulation in connective tissue to help you recover and rejuvenate after sports.

Yoga breath and concentration practices can improve confidence, focus and positive pleasure in your atheletic pursuits.

After a hard day on the field, a yoga practice will ease and lengthen the muscles, re-balance your energy and get you fully prepared for the next training session.
