Athletes
Athletes benefit from yoga as a recovery method and to strengthen and lengthen specific musles and promote flexibility to avoid injuries. Yoga is an effective recovery method for athletes because it gives you a break from similar movement patterns that can wear down muscles over time (for example, throwing a baseball with the same arm hundreds of times a day). Targeted practices for athletes, whether you're a runner, a swimmer, or a weightlifter, can give you a competitive edge while at the same time reducing the strain on your body.
Check out our collection of yoga for athletes videos, especially those featuring Sage Rountree (a personal yoga teacher for Division I basketball players and coaches) and Jenni Tarma, a crossfit enthusiast whose training brought her to yoga and she loved it so much she decided to teach it!
