Yoga sports coaching
Ann Wyatt
Improvements in sporting performance are not just down to the number of hours of training that you put in but are a culmination of physical fitness, refinement of technique, mental focus and self belief. Yoga techniques can be applied to develop all of these aspects. In my experience some of the most powerful and beneficial techniques have been restorative posture work and breathing exercises which are often omitted or not given sufficient attention in sports training programmes.
Yoga is a great addition to training. Some of the benefits of a regular yoga practice include:
- Reduced injury risk
- Improvements in concentration
- Shorter recovery times
- Increased mobility and strength
- Improvements in balance and co-ordination
