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 for Sports you will develop balance, strength, flexibility, and performance in your athletes and help them thrive in a long and successful sporting career.

Haben Sie jemals die Wörter “biologisch abbaubar” und “kompostierbar” in Verbindung mit Activewear gehört? Das in Philadelphia ansässige Fitnessunternehmen Aqua Vida bietet Leggings und Shorts aus Amni Soul Eco-Material, das zu 100 Prozent recycelbar und wiederverwendbar ist – und auf einer Deponie oder einem Komposthaufen in weniger als drei Jahren zerfällt. Aqua Vida bietet biologisch abbaubare Leggings – hergestellt mit dem intelligenten Garn, Amni Soul Eco des Chemieunternehmens Solvay. Das Polyamidgarn bietet laut Hersteller antibakterielle Vorteile und UV-Schutz. Einige Vorteile: Die Kleidung ist leicht, wird billigere Stoffe überleben und beinhaltet intelligente Feuchtigkeitsabsorption. Die Kleidung ist für Yoga, Surfen, Training im Fitnessstudio oder andere Trainingsaktivitäten gedacht.

Machen Sie sich keine Sorgen wegen des Schweißs – diese biologisch abbaubaren Leggings zersetzen sich nicht, während Sie sich darin bewegen. Stattdessen beginnt der Stoff erst zu zerfallen, wenn er in einer anaeroben Deponie oder einem Kompostbehälter von Bakterien umgeben ist. Ansonsten ist die Haltbarkeit laut Aqua Vida so lang wie die anderer traditionellen Polyamide.

Der Prozess zur Herstellung des Garns ist ebenfalls nachhaltig – pro Aqua Vida sagt dazu “is produced in a closed cycle manufacturing system, a production process which collects and recycles scrap, wastewater, raw materials found in the water, and heat that is generated in some of the production phases.”

Aqua Vida, die die Kleidung verkauft und Standup-Paddleboard-Yoga-Kurse anbietet, hebt die Nachhaltigkeit als einen ihrer Werte auf ihrer Website hervor
