THE MINDFUL ATHLETE
A YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
The mental and physical health of an athlete are interrelated, and should be conditioned together.
We teach you how to teach athletes how to coordinate breathing and physical movement, improve focus and concentration, and help participants condition both their body and their mind.
​
Tailoring asana to the needs and lexicon of the athlete requires care. Employing the techniques of mindfulness meditation in a structured method will see measurable improvements to the biology of their belief and their capacity to succeed in their given field.
