"Yoga coach Erin Taylor uses yoga to solve specific problems athletes face. Her revolutionary approach can improve functional strength, flexibility, muscle recruitment, breathing and focus, core strength, and durability. She starts by defining 10 problems that hold athletes back and the yoga solutions that can fix them. How your body should work, how to self-diagnose flaws in your movement and functional strength, and how to apply just a few specific yoga poses so you can "hit reset" and get back to athletic form. These yoga solutions take just a few minutes before or after your workout, and you won't need a mat or studio classes. Armed with these key, highly effective yoga fixes, you'll begin a radical redefinition of balance that can make you a healthier, stronger, and faster athlete. The techniques can help you solve: Imbalances that lead to injury by redefining balance from head to toe. Feeling easily winded with deep breathing exercises. Feeling distracted or nervous with focus exercises. Poor posture with core activating and strengthening poses. Sleepy feet and stiff calves for a stronger foundation. Knee pain with better form and strength poses. Stiff hamstrings and sleepy glutes with activation exercises. Unstable hips and IT band problems with hip helpers. Stiff shoulders and sides with opening poses. Yoga can help you in your sport, but only if your yoga is solving the problems you face as an athlete. A no-nonsense approach that will make you a stronger, more resilient athlete."--Provided by publisher.
