DRISHTIQ Yoga is lucky to have the opportunity to serve the athletes in the surrounding area. Yoga is a PERFECT accompaniment to any exercise or sport.
From casual runners and golfers to professional athletes, athletes doing yoga benefit from yoga’s ability to increase blood flow throughout the body and to important joints, fascia and ligaments. Yoga also centers around focus, balance and connection to the body which changes the way any athlete moves, attends to or performs in their given sport.
Two such athletic teams – Mason Girls basketball, Mason Girls Softball have both embraced the benefit of yoga for their athletes. Don’t take it from us, read the testimonials below!
“Yoga was definitely an asset to our team’s preseason workouts. The softball players, who had been working out in the form of weights and cardio conditioning for months, were surprised by the amount of strength and endurance it took to get through a yoga practice. They all commented about how challenging their classes were but also how great they felt after. The technique of learning to use their breath through movements is something they use through all types of exercise. By far their favorite class was the restorative as their bodies were very sore from all the strength training we were doing as a group. We will definitely incorporate yoga into our pre-season workouts earlier next year and more often!” – Lian Muff, Varsity Softball Coach, Mason High School
“On a trip to an all-star event with 2 of my players, I asked them whether they thought the yoga experience was beneficial to them and they both said, “without a doubt!” They went on to explain how in the past, their bodies and especially their legs felt worn out at the end of the season but this season, they felt so much more relaxed and refreshed. Yoga, without a doubt, allowed the players to maximize their mind and body and helped us reach the state championship game.” Rob Matula, Varsity Girls Basketball Coach, Mason High School.
