"I ask a lot out of my body. I push my body to its physical and mental limits on a regular basis. Athletes for Yoga is my way of giving back to my body. I use yoga to reset and support my body. The ying and the yang. Train hard and recover harder."
"I spend many hours on the trail with my own thoughts. I train my body as well ad my mind to perform. I use Athletes for Yoga to maintain the connection between my mind and body. When I'm running 100 miles in the mountains by myself, the ability to stay connected is crucial. My yoga practice helps me to stay present and keep my head and heart in align."
"I love to push my body to it's limits, but I also love to rest, recharge, and take care of my body. Incorporating Athletes for Yoga into my daily routine is an important part of my training. Recovery and self care is so important for being able to push my body day after day."
