Yoga is a thousand years old and is one of the most sophisticated forms of physical therapy.

Often when asked, sports people admit to forgetting to stretch and although most active sports people are very healthy and fit, they often suffer from shortened muscles. This limits their range of motion and causes imbalanced or misalighned musculature due to predominant use of one side of the body, as for example, that used in golf or tennis. Likewise, running is great for the heart and lungs, but also severly tightens the muscles at the backs of the legs. Overall, the harder you train, the tighter the body becomes.

• All injuries in sport are caused by structural and muscular imbalances.
• Muscular imbalances and structural irregularities do not fix themselves.
• Stopping training does not correct an imbalance.
• Strength developes flexibility safely.
• Yoga helps prevent injuries in sporting activities.
• Yoga improves focus and awareness.
• Yoga helps to keep the nervous system calm.
• Yoga corrects and improves posture.
• Yoga helps to reduce injuries.
• Yoga brings a dynamism and lightness of being to your sport.
• Yoga helps you to work with your body rather than against it.
