While routine stretching can seem boring, yoga offers variety and athletic challenge that prepares athletes for the high-impact and high-stress nature of their sport. Yoga improves balance, mobility, core strength, and mental focus, which translate to improved athletic performance.

Lower-body postures such as Downward-Facing Dog loosen hamstrings tight from long runs and sprint workouts, while upper-body postures like Cobra and Warrior Two enable athletes to unlock chest and shoulders stiffened by hitting weights at the gym.  

Famous Athletes who call themselves Yogis include Hometown Hero Lebron James, Kevin Love, Tom Brady, Michael Phelps, Hope Solo, and many more. Realizing the undeniable benefits of yoga, professional teams such as the New York Giants incorporate yoga into their rigorous training schedule. At Yoga Bliss we offer private sports team classes that can be tailored to specific team workouts and needs.

Did you know that yoga is widely used by golf and tennis professionals to enhance performance? Our classes weave in movements that are beneficial to those who practice rotational sports like these. When the body is free to move with balance and stability, more accuracy, consistency, and power are achieved. Perhaps most importantly, the benefits of yoga contribute to injury prevention.

“As an avid tennis player who has suffered multiple injuries, I decided to try yoga at Yoga Bliss. Yoga has strengthened my body as well as my mind and I have never felt better on the court. The instructors at Yoga Bliss are fantastic! They not only develop flows that both ignite and soothe my muscles but their energy and words inspire me to be a calmer more aware person. Today, I practice yoga 5 days a week and have become addicted!!” ~Laura Engles, multiple State + Regional tennis champion!
