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

Teaching Yoga to Athletes
Saturday, November 5, noon–5 p.m.
Sunday, November 6, noon–5 p.m.
(times are tentative)
Carrboro Yoga Company
Carrboro, NC


This weekend, which includes a manual, is designed for current yoga teachers interested in working with athletes of all sports. We will discuss the needs, abilities, and limitations that athletes bring to a yoga practice; investigate ways to modify classes for athletes of various sports and levels of experience; discuss the pedagogy and business of working with athletes; and practice yoga together each day. We’ll also make a field trip to work with the UNC football team!

If you are not currently teaching, you will still benefit from the workshop. PE teachers, personal trainers, and athlete/yogis will all come away with ideas about how to mesh yoga and training.

This workshop will count for ten contact hours toward your Yoga Alliance continuing education, and USA Triathlon–certified coaches and personal trainers can apply for CEUs.

Recommended reading: The Athlete’s Guide to Yoga and The Athlete’s Pocket Guide to Yoga, both by yours truly; Yoga Anatomy, by Leslie Kaminoff.

$250; $225 if paid by October 15
