Are you an athlete? Why you should being doing yoga At Hard Candy Fitness we have a range of exercise classes in Sydney that focus on yoga from beginner Hatha yoga to Power yoga, from starting your first yoga fitness classes Sydney to wanting to really sculpt your body, we have you covered. If you are more of an athlete you are probably thinking you are fit enough already there is nothing yoga can do for you – think again. Yoga classes can help in many ways – ● Improve your strength – The routine and consistent practice of yoga poses can help build strength and give you lean muscle mass. This can help strengthen your otherwise underdeveloped muscles giving your body more balance and strength. ● Improve balance – Depending on your chosen sport or field, you may have great flexibility or strength – but do you have good balance? The yoga courses in our fitness gym in Sydney can help improve your balance. You are probably thinking balance isn’t important – but good balance allows you to have more control over how you move – this leads to better form and technique. ● Improved flexibility – Our yoga fitness classes in Sydney will improve your joint and muscular flexibility to give you a better range of movement and increased performance – for example a swimmer with more supple hip and shoulder joints can pull more water than a swimmer who has a more limited range of movement. ● Better mental control – While there are huge benefits for the athlete on the physical side and yoga does provide a
great workout – tightening your core, toning your butt and flattening your stomach after the workout comes the meditative portion of your yoga fitness classes in Sydney – this is where you lay on your back, or front, for a time of quiet meditation. This allows you to mentally *clean house* control your mind and enjoy the serenity meditation brings. In many ways – for the athlete – this is the most important part of your yoga classes with Hard Candy Fitness by allowing you to *unlock* the untapped potential inside each one of us. What does any of this have to do with your athletic performance??? EVERYTHING! All athletes are talented, all athletes train hard – but the mind plays a role in success too – those who often win visualise it, they KNOW they are going to win and like any muscle in your body – your mind can also be trained. The meditation part of a Hard Candy Fitness yoga class can help reduce stress, allow you to sleep better, and stops that negative mental *chatter*.
