Practice Strategic Injury Prevention

This week use Athletes for Yoga to practice Strategic Injury Prevention. While the entire A4Y library is designed for injury prevention, this week you’ll use some of our most strategic injury prevention videos to solve common problems including unstable feet, knee pain, and stiff hamstrings — imbalances that can become injuries when left unaddressed.

Injury prevention requires you to be aware of your unique imbalances and to use yoga to return to balance again and again. The more you practice using yoga to solve problems, ease imbalances, and mitigate injury risk — the more injury resistant you’ll become.

You can use the free A4Y Practice Plan to outline your own plan each week, or use our curated Strategic Injury Prevention Practice Plan below!
