WHY YOGA FOR ATHLETES?

1. Improved Strength: Routine and consistent practice of the various yoga asanas (poses or postures) helps  build strength and improve lean muscle mass. These gains have enhanced core body stability and support otherwise under-developed muscles surrounding the more utilized muscles, creating a more balanced and optimally functional overall strength.
2. Balance: Through a consistent yoga practice, coordination and balance improve immensely. Why is this important? Better balance and coordination means enhanced control when you move your body, which in turn leads to better technique and form.
3. Flexibility: Yoga invariably improves joint and muscular flexibility, which is crucial to the body’s overall structural soundness. Enhanced joint and muscle pliancy translates to greater range of motion, or an increase in the performance latitude for a particular movement or series of movements. The more you work to maintain your flexibility, the less likely you are to suffer an overuse injury.
4. Mental Control: The physical benefits of yoga for the athlete are huge. But they’re nothing in comparison to the more ephemeral benefits that you get from being mindful and calm during a ton of challenging poses.  Much like a muscle, the mind can be trained. And consistent practice of yoga has been found to not only improve sleep, reduce stress, quell negative mental chatter, and manage (and walk through) fear, it informs my entire approach to training.

CCYOGA is thrilled about helping your team enhance their mental focus and agility through yoga.​

We have worked with football, basketball, volleyball, and soccer players, and are in our second season of working with the Lakewood High School Baseball Team as a key component of their off season training regime.
