WHAT IS SPORT YOGA?

Sport Yoga is a unique blend of ancient, modern and experimental exercises designed to promote wellness and strength on a mental, physical and spiritual level.  The format, movements and theories are taken and adapted from a variety of sources including Hatha Yoga, T'ai Chi, Pilates, and Posture Analysis as well as traditional sport stretches and warm-ups.

Yoga helps eliminate stiffness, improve coordination, and prevent injuries. Moreover, yoga helps balance emotional, physical and spiritual energy, thereby improving concentration and endurance. Overall, by a fusion of mind, body and spirit, yoga helps people to elevate their body awareness and release the accumulated emotional and physical tension that is stored in the body as a result of daily stress and strain.

Although there is a spiritual element to Yoga, Sport Yoga is not overtly spiritual and as such is appropriate for anyone wanting to experience the benefits of a yoga practice.  Sport Yoga is open to beginners and yet still contains a more advanced component to each pose for more experienced students.
