Sage Rountree: Yoga for Athletes, Training for Running and Triathlon | Yoga

I've been teaching yoga to athletes for over six years and way over 1,000 hours, which qualifies me as an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance. More importantly, I've spent years learning exactly how yoga helps athletes, a subject I study from the roles of teacher, coach, and athlete.

In my weekly yoga classes in Chapel Hill/Carrboro, NC, we explore a theme (and the same sequences in all three classes each week) of interest to athletes. Examples include finding mountain-pose alignment, opening the hips with revolving poses, working with momentum, or being efficient. Such themes are also the focus of the workshops I lead across the country. Past workshop locations include YogaWorks Downtown, New York City, February 2008; Circle Yoga, Washington, DC, October 2008; and Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, February 2009.
