Yoga is for Everyone.
Yoga is not just for women anymore. Yoga is now recognized as a breakthrough technique in the prevention of various injuries and chronic ailments. In fact it has become a staple of many high school, college and professional strength and conditioning programs.
When the body repeats similar movement patterns over and over again, it can take its toll on the muscles, soft tissue about the joints, bones, and ligaments, often leaving the athlete misaligned. For instance, certain sports may favor one side of the body over another, like golf and baseball, while others such as hockey and cycling create powerful leg musculature but weak and tight hips. This pattern overload of certain muscles and under-utilization of others can create structural imbalances that can later lead to increased potential for injury.
In addition to customized performance training, yoga not only counters these structural asymmetries, but also gives the athlete numerous benefits including:
Stretching of tight and overworked muscles to create flexibility
Strengthening of under-utilized weak muscles
Expanded range of motion
Enhance performance and endurance
Improved sense of body awareness and focus
Enhanced mobility and structural balance
