Product Description:
Athletes have different needs than the typical yogi. They come to the practice with more tightness from hours spent training, little time for lengthy sessions, and at the height of the season they often abandon yoga classes altogether for demanding sport-specific training. In this accessible guide, yoga teacher Sage Rountree makes it easy for athletes to reap the benefits of the practice year-round. Designed to complement a rigorous training schedule, the book includes quick, five-minute warm-ups to prepare for daily workouts; strength sessions for the off-season and base periods; flexibility sessions as training grows more demanding, including 20-minute flexibility routines to follow workouts; and focus sessions incorporating breath exercises and meditation to improve restoration and sharpen mental toughness for competition. A spiral binding makes it easy to progress through each routine, and attractive color photographs fluidly detail every pose. Tips to simplify trickier poses or vary the routine from one session to the next are included.

Great as a quick reference guide if you already know yoga. I am not a triathlete, but I bike, swim and run and was finding my muscles so tight after these activities. This helped me to quickly reference those poses particularly helpful for those activities to stretch, relieve muscle tightness, and build strength. I have practiced and taught yoga for years and have tons of yoga books, but this is my go-to guide for quick reference.

This has to be the best book on yoga I've come across in years. When I'm doing an activity like yoga, I really don't want to read long prose on how to do something. I just want to see it, then do it. And that's exactly how this book is presented. There's a brief guide for absolute beginners at the beginning, a quick guide to things you might need - such as, how to pick a good mat - but then it goes into page after page of image sequences about poses (5-10 minutes), then a section towards the ...

I have always done a little yoga, learned from ballet. I recently started up road cycling and this book has really helped! As I am not in ballet anymore I do not stretch like I used to and I knew I had to start again. I don't know if this book would be good for a true beginner, but for someone who already knows about stretches (and proper form - very important) this is a good simple book. I especially like that there are different levels, from those with very little flexibility yet, to those that ... Read More

I'm a fitness instructor and this guide has helped me form classes when I teach the occasional yoga class.
