Whole-Body Pickleball: Pickleball Meets Yoga
January 25-26, 2025 (Registration closes January 21)
Early Bird Tuition Discount through October 31, 2024
My major focus since 2019 has been how to apply principles and practices of yoga and yoga therapy to improve sports performance. I started with tennis but have expanded to include pickleball. I’ve modified a number of yoga poses and developed other training methods to serve athletes in these sports. This mindful, whole-body approach can be applied to many other sports and physical activities from golf to dancing.
We’ll learn how to optimize posture, breath, movement and mental focus as well as swing mechanics to find easy, almost effortless power. We’ll discuss how to tailor your training program to your unique situation and goals. We’ll explore warmup and post-match recovery routines. One area that has fascinated me about these sports is the crucial role played by the hands and the feet — rarely discussed in traditional racket sports instruction.
This workshop is for anybody, from complete beginners to advanced players. Surprisingly, the greatest benefit — and the quickest progress — may come to those who learn this approach before they play for the first time.
Using yogic principles of movement facilitates power and touch on your shots. It’s easier on your body, helps you move more lightly, and I believe can lower the risk of injuries. And as I’ve been discovering first hand, it’s a lot more fun!
Tuition: $250
Early Bird Discount: $225 by October 31, 2024
