Peace

Getting up early everyday before anybody else to do yoga is a great way to start the day. I love my ‘hour’ of peace and quiet in the morning. (You don’t have to do it for an hour). It is an hour free of distractions when you can reflect on ‘yourself’ and ‘your goals’ and let go of whatever stress you may be feeling. You can't control anything in the world. Let it all GO!

Tri-pod Headstand

1) Begin with your hands and knees on the mat. Lower the top of your head to the floor so it's in front of your hands. You'll know your head is in the right position because your elbows will be directly over your wrists and you'll be able to see your hands. Your head and both palms will form the points of an equilateral triangle.

2) Once your head and hands feel stable, straighten both legs and walk your feet towards your face as far as you can.

3) Shift your hips over your shoulders, and keep your hands planted firmly on the mat. Practice doing Tripod Balance, by resting your knees on your triceps. Stay here or work on lifting both legs up into the air coming into Tripod Headstand. Keep your legs together and point your toes.

4) Hold this pose for a few breaths. Then slowly lower your feet to the floor.

T-Town Yoga

Yoga will compliment your CrossFit workouts and help you move into and out of lifts with greater ease and mobility. Balance of the two is essential for our health as we age and allows us to continue to do functional training in the gym. This also applies to balancing our workout days with our active rest days. It's about finding a meeting point between stretching and strengthening our muscles.

T-Town Yoga

Why take a T-Town Yoga class?
Balance, Variety, Body Awareness, Flexibility, Accuracy, all important to your CrossFit training – all trained in a Yoga class. Yoga will develop the shoulder stability necessary for a developed snatch lift as well as the hamstring flexibility for strong deadlift set-up. We talk about developing body awareness with our lifts and movements to feel when your elbows are high and outside, or your overhead position is strong and locked out. Yoga will help with that too. Yoga helps calm your mind, reduce stress, and stretch your body. Practicing yoga helps create a strong, flexible back, improves posture, firms your backside, stimulates abdominal organs, and can help with asthma. Increasing flexibility in your chest and shoulders (overhead work), improving wrist and grip strength, and improved breathing – you’d be crazy NOT to add T-Town Yoga into your training!
