Yoga for Athletes – Movement Manual © FitterUFitness.com
Welcome to Yoga for Athletes! Congratulations on committing to better yourself as an athlete and extending the health and longevity in your particular sport.
As you’ll soon discover, regular yoga/flexibility training is fountain of youth and performance enhancement that no one else is telling you about – until now.
In order to get maximum benefit from this 25‐minute routine, I would suggest doing it 3 times per week. If you decide to do more than that, then you will benefit to an even greater extent as studies have shown that daily stretching is the key to long‐term flexibility.
In this Movement Manual, you will find all the pictures for each pose/movement in the Yoga for Athletes program.
Feel free to print this document and keep it by your side so you can get more familiar with performing each pose properly.
That’s all for now.
Thanks again and I’ll see you on the yoga mat.
Your friend and coach,
