It describes a whole-body program for cross-training and conditioning.

Get the balance, strength, and focus you need to perform at your best.
Power yoga is the athlete’s secret weapon. Dozens of high-profile professional athletes are hitting the yoga mat, from the Seattle Seahawks American football team to basketball star LeBron James to the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team. Professional athletes are turning to power yoga to improve performance, prevent injury, and extend their careers. But while the word has gotten out that yoga is a natural fit for athletes, many are still too intimidated to give it a try. They view it as too “earthy,” for “granolas,” too intimidating, or foreign to their typical workout routine. But anyone who has practiced yoga could talk about its many benefits. Yoga involves movements and body postures that provide a full-body workout and improve flexibility, balance, focus, awareness, strength, endurance, and recovery. My hope is that Power Yoga for Athletes will serve as a gateway to all athletes interested in reaping the benefits the mat has to offer.
