Have you discovered the benefits of incorporating yoga into athletic routines?

In a recent milestone, our second fitness class livestream was gracefully led by yoga instructor Celine Cooper. Her guidance facilitated a session focused on unwinding, destressing, and actively recovering from consecutive days of movement. It's another example of how we prioritize holistic well-being at Step App!. 

Celine Cooper is a yoga instructor based in Trinidad and Tobago with a focus on flexibility, strength, mobility, and breath work.

The benefits of yoga for athletes

Yoga, celebrated for its profound influence on both physical and mental well-being, presents significant potential for athletes aiming to elevate their performance and overall fitness levels. Our conversation with Celine illuminated the outstanding benefits of incorporating yoga into athletic training. This includes improvements in flexibility, core strength, and concentration, as well as the cultivation of inner equilibrium, offering a comprehensive strategy for enhancing athletic capabilities. Moreover, yoga contributes to increased strength, balance, and stability, and serves as an excellent method for refining breathing patterns and alleviating stress.

‍After hearing about the amazing benefits of yoga, we couldn’t be more excited to get this class started!

The yoga class

The class kicked off with a concentrated focus on breathwork while seated, seamlessly progressing into invigorating full-body stretches. During the livestream, Celine skillfully guided us through a thoughtfully curated sequence of dynamic poses designed to maximize benefits for athletes. The repertoire ranged from time-honored classics such as downward-facing dog and forward fold to fundamental poses like mountain pose, plank, and upward-facing dog, ensuring a varied array of movements throughout the session.

Following a satisfying stretch, we concluded the session in the restorative corpse pose, accompanied by additional breathwork to further enhance relaxation. It was a holistic journey aimed at rejuvenating mind and body!
