“Sports Specific Yoga significantly improves sports performance”
I am an Advanced Yoga Sports Coach™ working within Yoga Sport Science, one of only a few fully qualified, recognised and registered in the U.K. and across the world. I work with athletes, teams, performers, dancers, physical performers, actors, singers, coaches and NGB’s etc. on adding value to any aspect of training to improve and enhance performance to achieve that extra edge.
Yoga Sport Science enables an athlete to integrate training techniques – sport specific yoga techniques with traditional modern training, sports science and periodization training to enhance sports performance.
We actively research the benefits of yoga within sport and performance and have completed successful research papers on various sports introducing Sport Specific Yoga Techniques into training to enhance sports performance in athletes. Sports Specific Yoga will improve your performance and make you a better athlete, no matter what your sport or discipline.
We have developed specialised programmes and techniques for athletes across a broad range of sports and disciplines. The statistics demonstrate that Sports Specific Yoga Techniques that have been developed through Yoga Sport Science® are extremely advantageous at all levels of sport and performance, be it at a grass root level right through to elite, Olympians and professionals.
