Yoga for Athletes: 10-Minute Yoga Workouts to Make You Better at Your Sport

For runners, weight lifters, Crossfitters, triathletes, cyclists, and any fitness enthusiast who loves an intense workout: learn exactly how yoga will benefit your performance.

You’ve heard yoga can improve your fitness pursuits, but all you can find is vague information on starting a ＂beginner’s vinyasa practice.＂ And who really has the time for a 60 minute yoga class when all you want to do is lift weights? The good news is a yoga practice really can make you better at your sport; and specific tips, postures, and yoga workouts do exist to help you. This book is absolutely everything you need, and absolutely nothing you don’t, to be a better athlete.

Armed with this knowledge, you’ll be guided to select from a variety of 10-minute yoga workouts you can easily merge with existing fitness plans. Yoga for Athletes offers:
