My name is Kristi Faber and I am the Graduate Assistant of Group Fitness and the co-creator of Yoga for Athletes, along with Jenn Salamone, our certified Yoga instructor. Yoga for Athletes is a four week program that is available to all Johnson Center members. The following Yoga for Athletes classes are scheduled on Tuesdays, 6:30pm, in the group fitness studio:
Oct. 28, Runners
Nov. 4, Weight Lifters
Nov. 11, General Fitness
Nov. 18, Restoration/Recovery
Our goal for Yoga for Athletes is to teach the participants how to recover using yoga and how to add it to their workout programs. Each week will focus on a different sport and joint action. For example, our first class is inspired by runners. Jenn has designed a routine incorporating hip, knee and ankle dominated poses in order to teach the participants how to actively repair those joint areas and muscle groups. The rest of the class will focus on joint groups, like the shoulders, and muscle groups, such as the core.
We hope to strike interest in people who think yoga is not their forte. However, this is not just for athletes alone. We encourage all members to join in on this unique event. There will be a take-away flyer for each of the participants, so they have something to reference and keep after the Yoga for Athletes class is complete. As an added incentive, anyone who attends all four sessions of the Yoga for Athletes event will be entered in a chance to win a FREE Personal Training Package, worth over $50! This class will be a great stepping stone for those gym-goers who are looking to improve their fitness to the next level. We hope to see everyone there!
