Yoga for Athletes

smyers — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 00:16:00 +0000

Why Yoga for Athletes? Because yoga will make you a better athlete. Many people think that if they cannot touch their toes, they cannot ‘do’ yoga. This is a misconception because even if you never touch your toes, gaining flexibility, balance, and whole-body strength will improve your form, efficiency, and power. In addition, yoga’s focus on concentration and breath awareness will improve your mental focus and mental endurance. The class content reflects training, competing, and recovery schedules of students. Even if you don’t consider yourself an athlete, you will benefit from the class focus on flexibility, strength, and pranayama (breathing techniques). Do More Yoga!

Vinyasa/Flow

smyers — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 21:12:56 +0000

Vinyasa/Flow: Yoga follows the flow of breath through sequences of interweaving asanas (postures) that change from class to class. Vinyasa Yoga (also called “Flow” or “Power”) is a popular, evolving form of traditional hatha yoga that focuses on integrating intention, breath and movement, awareness and alignment, strength and flexibility, as well as your practice with your daily life. Vinyasa as a form is always evolving as teachers may use music that can inspire physical, energetic, mental, intuitive, and pure bliss states of consciousness. Likened to a dynamic dance, postures or asanas are connected through the breath for a transformative and balancing effect.

The pace is energetic yet comfortable as we move through flow sequences that build confident alignment in essential yoga poses. After gently awakening and warming the body, we progress to flowing sequences investigating the connection between breath, movement and the mind.

Svaroopa Inspired Yoga

smyers — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 19:24:49 +0000

Ending pain is easy with the spinal decompression that we call Core Opening – end your back pain and dissolve neck and shoulder tensions in your first class. Freedom from headaches, fewer colds and flu, better breathing and improved digestion follow – because Core Opening lifts pressure off your internal organs and glands, so everything functions better. Stress relief and deep relaxation are intrinsic to the relaxation of your core tensions.

Banish fatigue, enjoy more energy and enjoy a resiliency that supports you when facing life’s challenges. While you become progressively more calm, peaceful and (dare we say?) happy, you know it is coming from a deep inner knowing – svaroopa is a Sanskrit word that means you know yourself at the deepest level of your being. You can trust yourself as you move into life in a whole new way. Please see www.svaroopayoga.org for more information.
