Show your athletes how yoga can propel their performance to the
next level. Teaching Power Yoga for Sports prepares you to develop
and teach yoga programs that are directly relatable to specific
sports and player positions, resulting in more resilient athletes
who consistently compete at the top of their game. Author Gwen
Lawrence shares her approach, developed through years of work with
sports’ top professional teams; NBA, NFL, NHL, MLS, and MLB
coaches; and elite athletes. She takes into account the athlete’s
training cycle, the position they play, and common movements and
injuries in the sport. In this book, she offers detailed,
easy-to-implement instruction on the following: • Safe and
effective poses that complement common movements in sport • Yoga
routines, organized by sport and season • Ways to spot and fix
posture and alignment imbalances before injury occurs • Five
restorative sequences to facilitate recovery and long-term
stability • Six facets of Power Yoga for Sports: balance,
strength, flexibility, focus, breathing, and mental toughness •
Mindfulness tools for developing focus, clarity, and determination
Exclusive to this book are invaluable sport-specific sequences for
athletes participating in a range of sports: football, soccer,
basketball, baseball and softball, hockey, lacrosse, volleyball,
wrestling, golf, tennis and racket sports, skiing, swimming,
running, cycling, and mixed martial arts. For each sport, you’ll
find the top five poses that most closely mimic that sport’s
movements, along with accompanying images that compare each pose to
an athlete in action. Gain valuable teaching and coaching skills
you can immediately put into practice with your athletes. Learn to
train the whole body and mind with powerful yoga poses, breathing
techniques, and mental focus activities. With Teaching Power Yoga
