SPORT SPECIFIC YOGA
A system that constantly rebuilds the sport speci c movement patterns through yoga poses, so that when the athletes perform the moves on the eld or court, the athlete can do it effortlessly. Aathletes will become less susceptible to injuries by noticing the warning signs as they pop up and addressing them before they become problems.
MENTAL TRAINING
90% of performance is mental! The mental barrier is the biggest block to physical success. Break free of old patterns, allow your mind to be free from distractions.Rid your mind of tension & self doubt.
MINDFULNESS TRAINING
A mindful athlete is more likely to experience a feeling of being totally present, which leads to enhanced performance. Spend minimal time in the performance environment vs practice environment (5% / 95%). Convert feelings from practice to game.
THE MIRACLE BALL METHOD
This innovate approach trains the nervous system by letting the body weight be absorbed by two small balls. Through the pull of gravity, breathing fully, and performing small micro-movements, attention and awareness is brought to focused areas. Helps ease tension in stiff muscles.
