Yoga for athletes /
Cunningham, Ryanneauthor.
Part 1. Athletic benefits of yoga. Why do yoga? -- Getting started -- Warming up -- Finding your base: hips -- 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 -- Running: more than legs -- 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.
