What you get.
This 4-class series is a progressive programme designed for athletes on rest days/light training days. It will cover:
- Restoring muscles to resting length to avoid injury and maintain balance
- Observing compensating patterns in the body and build strength where muscles have become weak from misuse/overuse.
- Optimising recovery
- Improving range of motion – honing-in on problem areas that have become short and tight.
- Going beyond simply creating shapes with the body to discover a whole range of practical yoga tools with like-minded athletes looking to enjoy a sustainable active life.
Week 1: Monday February 4
Optimise: How’s your form? Use this class to explore posture and stability of the spine and core (abs, back/glutes). Use the breathe when fatigue hits and learn to prevent injury to your pelvis, hips and knees.
Week 2: Monday February 11
Strengthen: Not all tight muscles need to be stretched. In tonight’s practice we ask is a muscle tight from working too hard for too long, and/or because it’s overcompensating for another muscle that’s too weak?
Week 3: Monday February 18
Stretch: Tightness can often be confused with strength but here’s the bigger picture. If you increase tension on your muscles without stretching them you get shorter muscles, shortening your range of movement which plays havoc with your posture and alignment. This is not good for running performance or every day functional living, right? Tonight, we stretch.
Week 4: Monday February 25
Sustain: Practice continuous movement with awareness to accelerate performance and enjoy a sustainable active life. Use concentration, breath, one pointedness to find your individual yoga flow.
WHEN: (MONDAYS PM)
