What is Yoga and how can it help me

The practice of yoga originated in India 5,000 years ago. Its relevance today, after all this time, shows just how beneficial it is for the human body. Yogis have known these benefits through firsthand knowledge, and now western science is proving them through scientific studies. Yoga is an excellent complement to squash. It improves flexibility, core strength and mental focus. It’s all about getting the body, breath and mind to work together for optimum health and wellness.

Beginning Yoga for Everyone

New to yoga? Fear not! Jane will run through basic postures to get you comfortable. Normally it takes 4-6 classes to feel the benefits yoga can bring to your squash game. Come give it a try. We will be running a trial class on Tuesdays throughout March and part of April  with a focus on learning postures and developing strength, flexibility and breathing techniques.

Hatha Yoga

Hatha Yoga is a broad term covering all aspects of Yoga. We will be emphasizing breath, posture, strength, flexibility, mental focus and overall physical health specifically designed to improve your squash game and injury prevention.

Great Stretching Session After Squash

Squash players are notorious for forgetting to stretch after squash. Yoga is great for learning to stretch with a purpose after your workout.
