Frequently asked questions

How can yoga help you perform better in other sports?

How can yoga help you perform better in other sports?

Did you know that a lot of elite athletes like Ryan Giggs, for example, practise yoga? Yoga helps you improve strength, flexibility, and overall physical and mental wellbeing. Practising yoga is a great way to improve core strength, range of motion, and athletic performance.

Yoga acts as the perfect complementary activity to any other sport you’re practising. One of the greatest benefits is that it allows you to stretch and relax muscle groups that might be either over- or underworked and engage and develop your whole body. This, in turn, helps you to address any imbalances in the body and to prevent injuries.

Can you support any sport?

Can you support any sport?

Yes, whether you’re a runner, a triathlete, a cyclist, a weekend warrior, or compete in any other sport, my yoga classes can help. As a keen, expert-level skier myself and all-round fitness enthusiast, I understand what’s required to perform at a high level while also having to attend work in between training or competitions. When we start working together, I will research the individual requirements of your chosen sport to ensure that through practising yoga you can work towards meeting your specific training and competition objectives.

Do I need to compete at a professional level to work with you?

No. You don’t have to. If you practice any sport at any level, yoga can help. Even if you’ve decided to take up running on the weekend as a way to relieve tension and release stress from a long week at work, I can help. I love working with athletes and sportsmen of any level.
