Yoga helps to promote mental and physical relaxation, but that’s not the only benefit it provides. In fact, yoga can be a beneficial component of any cross-training routine for athletes, and it can enhance performance in other sports as well. Research has suggested that yoga improves flexibility, balance, coordination, and lung function. It can also help athletes effectively manage stress, an often forgotten but key contributor to recovery and performance. Yoga's ability to help with balance and core strength, while also building stamina and endurance is, in part, why most well-rounded athletes incorporate a yoga session or two into their training — on and off-season.

Please wear comfortable stretchy clothes and bring a yoga/workout mat, sweat towel, water, journal to take notes & any props or self-care items as needed (available at TW). Includes light refreshments & snacks - hydration advised!
