8-Week Yoga for Softball Series
Softball Specific Yoga
Description
Yoga research has shown improvements in flexibility, balance, strength, posture, and mental performance from practicing three times a week for a minimum of 10-minutes. This online course is designed for competitive softball athletes to support recovery, prevent overuse injuries, and better mobility for softball-specific movements. Throughout this 8-week course athletes will build a consistent yoga routine that will complement their current training regime. Each week includes one 10–15 minute yoga training video and a challenge pose to practice everyday within that specific week. Videos may be repeated as many times as desired throughout the week and can be done at any convenient time and location.
Please note that this series was created to help softball players establish a foundational and consistent yoga practice. It is not intended to just drop in and do a yoga class; I want to encourage players to prioritize practicing regularly just like they would with their hitting, pitching, catching, and fielding lessons.
**Disclaimer
The practice of yoga requires you – the practitioner – to gauge the safety of your practice within your personal physical limitations. Keeping in mind that yoga might be challenging at times, but it should never be painful. It’s important to always listen to your body and only work within your personal limitations. If you suffer from specific injuries or disease it is best to consult with your doctor or trainer before starting this practice.
