This increases the synovial  fluid to the joint  therefore keeping the joints healthier for longer. It will  ease out those niggling pains and aches and improve your breathing techniques to give you more energy.   The Energize health club has kindly offered  the use of the hydro pool after the class.

Sportsyoga Packages /Workshops for Teams /Individuals 

[pullquote style=”right” quote=”dark”]Sportsyoga is a superior form of training[/pullquote]

Introductory Package for Teams .

Sportsyoga is a superior form of training as it takes a holistic approach to training. My program teaches the person to understand how the body trains as a connective unit therefore being aware of discomfort in the body long before the injury occurs.Proper exercise should be pleasant to the practitioner and should be a lifestyle.  Sportsyoga develops a balance between the physical/mental aspect of sport .   This balance leads to optimum performance in Sport.  Allow me to demonstrate The Sportsyoga class to your team.

Cost €90

6 Weeks Pre-training Session .

Off season training is a excellent time to work on preparing the body for In season. Sportsyoga is the ideal cross training tool as  Yoga produces a balance of strength and flexibility in muscle groups, individual muscles and joints. It also brings the upper/lower, right/left sides of the body into equilibrium.  Yoga postures also focus on the health of the spine; it’s strength and flexibility. The spinal column houses the all-important nervous system, therefore by maintaining the spine’s flexibility and strength through movement, circulation is increased and the nerves are ensured their supply of nutrients and oxygen.  Lastly moving onto stabilizing and strengthening the opposing muscle groups. Now is the time to work on Injury prevention ……

Price: Negotiable

Half Day Workshop on Proper Breathing Techniques 

Most competitive sports require high levels of aerobic performance over extended periods of time. For some reason, we take our breathing for granted and many coaches do not include any form of breathing techniques to strengthen the lungs and, more importantly, to maximize lung capacity. Learning correct utilization of  the lungs/diaphragm/intercostal muscles can make a major difference to your sporting ability . You will be fitter,faster and most importantly first to the ball or over the line…..

Price: Negotiable

E.A.P.3 Program- Elite Athlete Peak Performance Program 

I would like to introduce you to the E.A.P3 program and the reasons why this program will help professional athletes/ teams to gain the optimum output from their sport.For a professional athlete/team who wishes to optimize their performance, it is essential that they have the ability to change their body/mind  connection and behavior as required to maximize efficiency and effectiveness in their game plan.

This program is the ultimate in training/team building and synergy.  The program would be incorporated in the Pre-season training and would be implemented throughout the season on a weekly basis  . It would include all aspects of sportsyoga including  a rest/recovery session following matches plus the added advantage of  therapeutic yoga for re-hab.

In a nutshell,  I would  work as part of the backroom  team as  a personal yoga instructor for the entire season.

Apres Match Rest and Recovery  Session.

Yoga Nidra -The Art of Letting Go…

Rest and recovery techniques are crucial components of any training program.  Short-term or active recovery usually takes place directly after training or a match. This is usually a short session of low -intensity stretches to ease out muscle tension. The physical aspect of Sportsyoga is an excellent form of cross- training. Yoga Nidra trains the body to enjoy lying in stillness  by just “ being” and not “doing” Letting go cannot be forced or planned but can become a lifestyle. What you are looking for is a state of awareness where tension is released from the body on a physical level and your mind completely switches off. This hour long session would take place on the evening of the match or early the following morning.  Players and Managers will feel completely rejuvenated and ready to resume training the following day. http://sportsyoga.ie/index.php/sports-yoga-rest-recovery/

Price: Negotiable.

Coming Soon….. Designer Sportsyoga Workshops

All sports require different techniques and  range of movement so I am designing tailor-made workshop for  specific sports.   The target of these workshops is to work with small groups at The Loft Yoga Studio , with emphasis on breath-work , full range of movement,tactics and creating an understanding as to how and why the body should move for that particular Sport.  More details to follow …

  [pullquote style=”right” quote=”dark”]Therapeutic yoga will help to bring the body into equilibrium  [/pullquote]

The purpose of yoga therapy is to balance the mind, body and breath, allowing the body to work as one collective unit. Yoga originated in the East and has been used for many years throughout the world to help protect against illness, to help improve chronic illnesses and to maintain and improve the quality of life. It is a system that can be adapted to suit a particular need or ability.

The class will include precise breathing techniques with greater emphasis on relaxation and breathing than in a normal yoga class and participants are advised to stay well within their own limits and not overdo it. Those who are more severely affected may find they want to start by only doing relaxation, breathing and meditation and nothing else involving movement. Introduction of minute movements to the joints and each class will finish with Yoga Nidra which is a profound relaxation technique and meditation.

• calm the central nervous system and induce a  state of deep relaxation
