Yoga for Pickleball: Injury and Recovery

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America, and the injury rate is growing faster than that of any other sport! Yoga is an ideal practice to reduce injuries and improve overall strength, balance, joint mobility, and improve body awareness. In this course you will learn the basics of this fun game (and other racquet sports), the types of most common injuries, and why the injury rate is so high.

Along with learning dynamic warm up flows, gentle recovery practices, and special mobility practices, we will explore the neuroscience of yoga and how they will enhance performance and reduce injuries through various mechanisms such as stress reduction, improved cognitive function and enhanced neuroplasticity. Adding yoga to your routine can provide a synergistic effect leading to greater over mental and physical well-being and better performance on the court.

YogaFit YogaBarre

YogaFit YogaBarre is a fun and functional way to create a balanced body, mind and spirit. Utilizing principles of yoga, ballet barre, pilates, strength training and dance allows for a complete integration of fitness modalities for well-being. We utilize a barre or chair to provide stability, balance, and support as we move through exercises that target the core, glutes, arms, and legs. The major benefits are improved posture, muscle definition, weight loss, increased mobility, and reduced stress.The YogaFit Yoga Barre program helps individuals to become stronger and feel better as they perform their everyday activities. The program is based not only on muscle balancing, but also on balancing the common postural and movement patterns we create in our daily lives.

The average American adult spends at least 6.5 hours sitting every day and the number is higher for teenagers, according to the Washington Post (The Big Number: The average U.S. adult sits 6.5 hours a day. For teens, it’s even more. Linda Searing April 28, 2019). This means many Americans are moving through their day with forward head posture, rounded shoulders, a lack of natural curves in the spine and a chronically tight front line. YogaFit Yoga Barre can provide individuals with a movement practice they will enjoy at the time and for years to come. YogaFit Yoga Barre is also one of the fastest, most effective ways to burn calories and get toned. Your students will love the functionality, fitness and fun they will experience every time they show up on their mat!
