🧘♀️Stretching and stability 🧘♂️
Yoga is the ideal complementary practice for triathletes and endurance athletes. It can help lengthen and stretch shortened muscles, compensate muscular disbalances and build the necessary strength and stability for long and intensive training sessions and races.
🧘♀️Breath work and mindfulness 🧘♂️
Yoga is not just another training session or a special form of gymnastics. In my classes, we will connect movement with our breath and also practice mindfulness and relaxation techniques, which help us to build focus, concentration and a strong mind.
🧘♀️Suiting the athlete’s needs 🧘♂️
Endurance athletes are often less flexible than the average student in a yoga studio, and they might feel frustrated if they can’t perform advanced asana poses. In my classes, we practice movements and poses that are beneficial for athletes, gently shifting the limits of our bodies.
🧘♀️Allow yourself to calm down 🧘♂️
Athletes tend to have high expectations on their own performance, in their sport as well as in other aspects of their life. Practicing yoga, we can learn to slow down and listen to our bodies and minds. Therefore, my yoga classes are not for burning off energy - which doesn’t mean they aren’t physically demanding.
My classes cater for all abilities. The poses and movements can always be varied to suit a student’s needs, considering an injury or fatigue or providing an extra challenge.
