YogaVibes.com (www.yogavibes.com) would like to thank Sage Rountree (www.sagerountree.com) in Chapel Hill/Carrboro, NC for filming with us on May 31, 2009. 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. You will find this "Yoga for Athletes" class, as well as many other online yoga classes at YogaVibes.com in August, 2009.
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 YogaVibes.com!
