Higher, faster, further - but above all to become better without injuring oneself: That's what every athlete wants; and every athletic person who is dedicated to their training. With the new DVD "Yoga for Athletes", athletes of all disciplines can benefit from a programme that intelligently adapts the millennia-old movement teachings of yoga in a contemporary way - as the perfect supplement for athletes of all disciplines who want to balance one-sided training loads and demonstrably minimise the risk of injury.
Strengthen, stretch, relax
The intensive stretching and holding exercises from classical Hatha yoga are ideally tailored to the special needs of athletes. All major muscle groups are strengthened, but also stretched at the same time. However, the effect of "Yoga for athletes" is even more comprehensive: body, mind and soul are brought into harmony. Thus, athletes can use the programme to sharpen concentration and reduce tension.
The following effects can be achieved with "Yoga for athletes":
- Improve body awareness & concentration
- Optimise breathing
- Build endurance & strength
- Balance one-sided training loads
- Improve Flexibility, Posture, Coordination & Balance
Ideal pre- or post-workout supplement
The DVD contains four different programmes that are tailored to different objectives:
Warm-up is the ideal preparation for any training session, Regeneration provides an optimal conclusion. The short programme Intensive is especially tailored to the needs of gliding sports (surfing, stand up paddling, kitesurfing, wakeboarding, skiing, snowboarding, skating etc.), while the main programme is a balanced yoga lesson.
"Yoga for athletes" enriches sport-specific training with a holistic component. The programme improves strength, flexibility and concentration and ensures a more balanced exercise practice regardless of discipline. The result: higher performance through better control of body and mind.
