Review
"Endurance athletes generally have poor flexibility, core strength, balance, and posture. Improving these can really change performance for the better. "The Athlete's Guide to Yoga" is a great resource to get you on the path to better training and racing." -- Joe Friel, founder of Ultrafit and author of The" Triathlete's Training Bible," "The Cyclist's Training Bible," and "The Mountain Biker's Training Bible"
""The Athlete's Guide to Yoga" is a great resource for athletes. Finally, we have an explanation of how to integrate yoga practice into daily training and within different training cycles. "The Athlete's Guide to Yoga" is well laid out and easy to follow, and it includes pose adjustments to help athletes overcome sport-specific tightness. I've been practicing yoga to complement to my triathlon training for the past 8 years. Now I have a great tool to take on the road when I can't make it to my usual class." -- Samantha McGlone, 2nd Place 2007 Hawaii Ironman World Championships and 2006 Ironman 70.3 World Champion, 2004 Olympian
"After running and racing for nearly thirty years, competing through five Olympic trials and the 1996 Olympics, and traveling the world on U.S. track, road, and cross-country teams, I thought I knew all the tricks for success and longevity in distance running. Yoga helped me set a world age-group record in the indoor mile and an outdoor American record in the 1500m at age 45. Yoga should have been-and will be from here on out-added to the mix of ingredients for success for any serious endurance athlete. Incorporate the practice of yoga into your weekly training regimen, and it will make a difference in your life as an endurance athlete. I highly recommend "The Athlete's Guide to Yoga" to all athletes who want to train smarter and race faster." -- from the foreword by long-distance runner Joan Nesbit Mabe
"This is a practical in-your-body guidebook for anyone wanting to take their fitness routine into new realm

After physio treatnebt for a running related back injury I was advised to do some Yoga. As I am unable to get to a classes I decided to buy a do-your-self type book.
This book gives a good overview of Yoga for sports people. It breaks down exercises into differing body areas and goes from easy to v.hard. However with a range to suit any need. I would highly recommend this book if you are look for yoga instruction specific to sports related activities.
