Why Yoga Should Be Part of Your Fitness Routine
Yoga is so important for everyone to cultivate and maintain mobility and flexibility to prevent injuries and recover properly from daily workouts.
Movement is my life, and always has been.
I grew up playing sports, mainly soccer and tennis, but also softball, track and gymnastics.
I also danced from elementary through college.
As a personal trainer, fitness instructor, yoga teacher and athlete myself, I know how important flexibility is to keeping the body healthy.
It’s always shocking to me how many active people I meet tell me their bodies hurt so much, and that they “never stretch.”
Weight training and cardio exercise is key to keeping your body strong, creating lean muscle, fat loss, and maintaining a healthy heart and lungs.
But flexibility and balance should also be a priority in every fitness routine.
Yoga is so important for everyone to cultivate and maintain mobility and flexibility to prevent injuries and recover properly from daily workouts.
It also keeps the back and spine healthy and flexible, while improving posture.
Here are just some of the many benefits of yoga ~
- Creates flexibility in the muscles & spine
- Increases range of motion for healthy joints
- Improves posture
- Improves balance
- Prevents injury
- Improves awareness & mental focus
- Strengthens the deep core muscles & spine
- Improves recovery from workouts and sport activity
- Reduces stress
In my 1:1 online fitness coaching program, the Fit & Flow Method, I include 2 60-minute yoga classes each week that you can incorporate into your schedule, uploaded right into your app, so you can do them from anywhere, at anytime.
The sequences focus on dynamic movement and flow to warm the body, then deeper hold stretches and Yin yoga to cultivate flexibility and range of motion.
Yoga, along with customized workouts, personalized nutrition guidance and wellness habits, will give you a well-rounded approach to your movement routine, and keep your body strong, flexible and feeling amazing!
