Yoga Workshops for Athletes
Yoga Workshops for Athletes with Sage Rountree, Runner’s World yoga expert
Location: Trinity College in Hartford, CT
Saturday, May 1, 2010
Join Team Training New England as we kick off the triathlon season with an amazing pair of workshops for women and men to complement your training. These workshops will give you tools to stay strong and injury-free all season long!
These workshops are appropriate for all levels of yoga and athletic experience, including athletes in all sports, endurance or non-endurance.
Yoga and Running
9:30-11:30 a.m.
$30
In this two-hour session, we’ll examine how yoga and running mesh. Starting with a dynamic yoga warm-up, we’ll see how yoga asana helps us with alignment, strength, and flexibility in running. We’ll also consider yoga’s approach to breath and focus and observe yoga’s effect on the runner’s experience. Learn running-specific core strength and hip stretches to finish.
Come dressed to run, but expect to run no more than a mile or two total. All levels are welcome.
Yoga for All Athletes
1:00-4:00 p.m.
$45
In this three-hour workshop appropriate for all levels of yoga and athletic experience, you’ll learn poses to increase flexibility, especially in the hips and legs; spend some time cultivating sport-specific core strength and playing with balance; and examine yoga as mental training, learning how incorporating this ancient approach can make you a better athlete. No matter what your sport is, you’ll leave with practical ways to incorporate yoga in your training to increase your flexibility, core strength, stability, and physical and mental endurance, while lowering your recovery time and risk of injury. All levels welcome, including beginners.
Sign up for both: only $65
