#36 - Yoga For Athletes w/ Christina McGrath
Category: Health

Description:

Christina McGrath, from Swell Fit Living, joins me today to talk about sport specific yoga. She has helped athletes with surfing, snowboarding, rock climbing, rowing, and pretty much anything you can think of outdoors. She’s currently teaching in New Zealand, where she takes the most applicable pieces from a yoga practice and uses that to help athletes connect with their bodies on a whole different level. There’s so much variability in outdoor sports. That being said, I had to get her thoughts on how exercisers and lifters could make the most use out of this beautiful practice.
