Use Yoga Like A Triathlete
Use yoga like a triathlete this week! And, no, you don’t have to be a triathlete to benefit from these Resets — We’ve picked 7 routines that, while being triathlon-specific, also address universal athlete problems and human imbalances. Also includes one of A4Y Pro Chelsea Sodaro's most used videos: Preventative Medicine for Lower Legs + Feet.
We can all learn from triathletes’ versatility, time management skills, and practice of intentional (and literal) transitions. Plus triathletes are some of the most time poor athletes we coach, so most of our yoga for triathletes videos are around 5 minutes.
