For runners, weight lifters, Crossfitters, triathletes, cyclists,
and any fitness enthusiast who loves an intense workout: learn
exactly how yoga will benefit your performance. You've heard yoga

do is lift weights? The good news is a yoga practice really can
make you better at your sport; and specific tips, postures, and
yoga workouts do exist to help you. This book is absolutely

targeted assessment to identify your areas of opportunity. Armed
with this knowledge, you'll be guided to select from a variety of
10-minute yoga workouts you can easily merge with existing fitness
plans. Yoga for Athletes offers: * 30+ yoga workouts designed with
the athlete's goals in mind. Most workouts require just 10 minutes
of your time and are easily slid into your existing workout

points and perfect your fitness with a systematic evaluation of
