Yoga For Athletes

Akhilayoga is offering a class designed for athletes who are looking to balance their training program. It will focus on stretching and strengthening the muscles, improving breathing technique as well as posture and balance. Another key aspect of this class is to target areas where common injuries occur to help with prevention. If there is an existing injury the student will be shown ways to safely approach it and work through the healing process.

First class is Saturday September 11 from 9-10:15am at the Paradise Physiotherapy 1386 Topsail Road. Cost is $84 for 6 sessions. For registration or more information contact Eric at info@akhilayoga.com or call 709.728.0078.
