Yoga makes good athletes better. This time-honored discipline imparts flexibility, balance, and whole-body strength, creating improvements in an athlete's form, efficiency, and power. In addition, yoga's attention to concentration and breath awareness improves mental focus and mental endurance-hidden assets that become especially important at the end of a long training session or race. Yoga instructor, endurance athlete, and coach Sage Rountree and two of her pupils demonstrate three levels of modifications appropriate for athletes. Choose from 7 preset routines targeting different points in the training cycle and addressing specific problem areas, or arrange segments in any order to build a custom workout lasting anywhere from two minutes to two hours.
