Part 1. Athletic benefits of yoga. Why do yoga?
Staying loose in the legs: hamstrings and quadriceps
Radiating strength from the center: spine and core
Building power at the top: shoulders, arms and neck
Waking up small muscles: balance poses
Cooling down, meditating, and visualizing: in the zone
Part 2. Poses for sport-specific performance. Football: stretches for every position
Soccer: bring balance to the workout
Cycling: free tight hips and a stressed upper body
Baseball and softball: guard those joints
Swimming: stretch the shoulders and back
Tennis: quick bursts of motion
Basketball: explosive movement
Golf: lengthen and rotate the spine
High-intensity training: function and power.
