THE ATHLETE'S GUIDE TO YOGA DVD - A PERSONALIZED PRACTICE FOR STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY AND FOCUS
Yoga makes good athletes better. This time-honored discipline imparts flexibility, balance, and whole-body strength, creating improvements in an athlete's form, efficiency, and power. In addition, yoga's attention to concentration and breath awareness improves mental focus and mental endurance-hidden assets that become especially important at the end of a long training session or race. In The Athlete's Guide to Yoga, yoga instructor, endurance athlete, and coach Sage Rountree and two of her pupils demonstrate three levels of modifications appropriate for athletes.
Choose from 7 preset routines targeting different points in the training cycle and addressing specific problem areas, or arrange segments in any order to build a custom workout lasting anywhere from two minutes to two hours.
Increase range of motion, reduce chance of injury and recover faster by following the routines included in this DVD - or customize your own practice.
The Athlete's Guide to Yoga includes twenty segments prearranged in sequences appropriate for base, build and peak cycles, and using the interactive menu, you can even program your own routine to address your personal needs.
Strength:
Build organic, functional strength in balance poses and sun salutations; increase core stability.
Flexibility:
Stretch major muscle groups in your hips, hamstrings and shoulders.

Do not buy this DVD if you have never done Yoga before. I've used a couple of Yoga DVDs and also attended classes but I really struggled to keep up with the routines. There is no provision for someone having never practiced Yoga and the DVD launches straight into a fast paced advanced workout. I'd say this may do you more harm than good unless you know what you're doing as while the DVD speeds along there aren't any tips on making sure you have the correct posture.... and if you stop for a minute to think you've had it!

A great dvd. I have thoroughly enjoyed using it for the last year or so that I've had it. It has a large number of yoga moves all demonstrated and talked through very carefully with "easy, medium, hard" views on screen at the same time. There are preset sessions but it also allows you to select up to 12 moves and play them in your own order without any intervention - a very useful feature for throwing variation in. It says it's for athletes but would be equally useful for non-athletes as well.
