Therapeutic Yoga for Athletes

With Sybil Nance, E-RYT 200, CYT 800 HR, Instructor Yoga Club Teacher Training

The goal of this immersion will be to have teachers:

• Improve their ability to see movement as it pertains to improved function and thus performance
• Look and learn to “reverse engineer” the movements needed for any one given sport. 
• Learn to break down these movements to their simplest and purest forms. Then help the athlete to build back to the classical Yoga Asana with a new awareness of how they are meant to move naturally.
• Explore working with the weaker or under-utilized muscle groups to improve performance.  For example, if a Hamstring is tight, it may be tight for a reason.  Therefore, where we may investigate and create ease in the area of the body that is “not working so well.” As a result, the hamstrings will learn to release and not work so hard (i.e., the general rule of thumb that the pain or strain is not where the problem lies).
• The format of this immersion will be hands on and experiential.
• Teachers will feel and experience these principles in their bodies, and Sybil will work with a few chosen athletes from different sports as models so we can observe and experiment with these principles.
• Explore individual session work and small slow vinyasa flow customized class formats
• Discuss the challenges of teaching to groups of athletes.  Each and every body is different.  We can actually exacerbate a problem when trying to create a series of moves for athletes as a group without taking into consideration individual needs.

Post Immersion Case Work Options: Teachers will have the option to work with athletes one-on-one, creating a personally prescribed yoga asana flow,  follow the athletes progress post intensive for 2+ weeks.
