Sage led a "Yoga for Athletes" class that is appropriate for athletes of all sports and all levels of yoga experience. Sage's class is designed to enhance an athlete's training and help improve performance. As Sage points out, it is not necessarily athletic yoga.

Sage Rountree is a specialist in yoga for athletes. She is an endurance sports coach, runner, triathlete and author. You can find Sage's writing in her books, which include
The Athlete's Guide to Yoga,
The Athlete's Pocket Guide to Yoga, and in her contributions to
Runner's World and
Yoga Journal Online. In her class on
YogaVibes.com, Sage focuses on hips, hamstrings, and the core, which are all areas athletes need to keep both strong and flexible. In this class you will spend many relaxing minutes stretching the hips in a variety of poses, including reclining pigeon and some innovative twists. Sage hopes that you will finish the class feeling pleasantly challenged, open through the hips, and deeply relaxed. Please join
Sage Rountree in her "Yoga for Athletes" class on
