These yoga classes are not only a great resource for developing a correct stretching approach before and after your workouts.
Each session focuses on a different movement principle predominant in specific sport disciplines. We will discuss the most common injuries and find out how to notice the signs that you might be putting your body under too much stress. We will go through a variety of breathing techniques particularly useful for those who hyperventilate during or after their training. And of course we shall address the most notorious tension points that are often difficult to resolve.
