Power Yoga for Athletes

Hockey, football, baseball, golf, swimming, lacrosse - whatever your sport of choice, yoga will help you to improve focus, flexibility, and performance. As a perfect complement to traditional training by isolating specific muscle groups, yoga is based on the principle of integrating the body as a whole and shifts the emphasis to the quality of the movement. This holistic approach can reveal weaknesses and imbalances that may never have been exposed before, allowing you to better strengthen and train your body. Power Yoga for Athletes is perfect for those who want a total body and mind workout. Yoga is the ideal cross-training tool and a perfect stand-alone exercise, whether you're looking to improve balance, focus, control, breathing, posture, or flexibility; strengthen your back, joints, or core; or reduce or heal from injury. Featuring 100 yoga poses from instructor Sean Vigue designed specifically for athletes, Power Yoga for Athletes incorporates more than just poses. It describes a whole-body program for cross-training and conditioning. Each yoga pose features step-by-step directions, instructional photography, muscles being worked, overall benefits, and the sports for which each pose is ideal. These poses benefit athletes of all types, including runners, swimmers, cyclists, golfers, and baseball, basketball, football players, and more. Get the balance, strength, and focus you need to perform at your best.
