Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America, and the injury rate is growing faster than any other sport! Yoga is an ideal practice to reduce injuries and improve overall strength, balance, joint mobility, and body awareness.
$337.00
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 it 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
a greater mental and physical well-being and better performance on the court.
NOTE: This course is held at a YogaFit Mind Body Fitness Conference event. Please see the MBF Conference event page for additional course options and details.
