Yoga
To start, the term “athlete” encompasses people at all competitive levels, including high school or college students, professional level athletes, as well as recreational athletes who compete in weekend races or local leagues.
Sport training naturally creates physical imbalances. Athletes become strong in some areas and weak in others. An athlete may find certain movements to be very easy and others to feel very tight, rigid, or difficult – and limited mobility can lead to severe injury.
Yoga for athletes pays special attention to the athletes’ needs. It is not not “athletic” or “powerful” yoga – it is a method of recovery used to balance out the physical demands, repetitive actions, and mental stress of the gym/court/field. It can be used to gain flexibility, increase range of motion, and calm the nervous system with a series of postures, stretches, and movements.
A yoga practice will also encourage a different level of body awareness. Athletes are used to pushing themselves physically, ignoring cues and signs of pain in the body. Yoga will encourage the athlete to listen to their body and note the difference between pain and discomfort. This will allow the athlete to prevent injury and possibly rehabilitate injury at a more appropriate pace.
The yoga practice can also offer a safe space for the athlete to remove their competitive nature and receive a much needed mental break from the pressures of the playing field.
Athletes in all stages of development benefit from the effects of the yoga, using it to progress to the next level of performance goals, both physically and mentally.

Furthermore, depending on the sport, the athlete will train differently and execute different repetitive movements. The swing of a kill in a volleyball athlete, a throw of a pitch in a baseball athlete, a tackle in football, a jump shot in basketball – each movement will require a certain amount of technical skill, strength, speed, or power as well as overuse specific muscle groups.
Sport-specific yoga can be used as a form of recovery to counter these specific movements, support the joints and musculature that aids in the movements, thus improving sport performance and preventing injury.

Jump training, also known as plyometric/speed/muscular endurance training, is geared toward athletes looking to increase their vertical, speed, power, balance, and agility, as well as reduce injury onset. To increase your vertical, access the Jump Training program and complete each HIIT Jump class 1 to 3 times per week.
The 52 week program to increase vertical is only available in the Recovery + Jump Yearly Program. Get started with a 7-day free trial.

Jump training, also known as plyometric/speed/muscular endurance training, is geared toward athletes looking to increase their vertical, speed, power, balance, and agility, as well as reduce injury onset.
It designed to have athletes working a variety of movements (including jumping, sprinting, and agility) in multiple planes and have their muscles exert maximum force in short intervals.
It is great for all sports, but it is especially important for athletes looking to increase their vertical, such as in volleyball, basketball, and track.
It is also an effective method to reduce the incidence of sports injuries, including the most common type which takes place during a deceleration task (such as a rapid change of direction or when trying to stop instantly).
Our program focuses on improving athletic performance within the Stabilization, Strength, and Power levels of the OPT Model.
In order to progress in the Power level, the athlete first needs to have a good base of stability, strength, and aerobic conditioning.
This style of training plays an important role in the success of many sports that require explosive vertical or linear movement by increasing athletic performance while also reducing risk of injury.
There are four phases of the program and athletes should begin with Phase 1.
Phase 1: Pre-Season (Stabilization)
Everything should be done with ease and grace, smooth, soft, and quiet movements. The athlete will work to hold postures in order to build the proper foundation. Quality over quantity is the focus.
Phase 2: In-Season (Intensify)
Plyos are now of reactive quality. Low box depth jumping, hurdle hop and stick, depth jump to vertical med ball throw. Focus is on minimal contact time. Taking soft contacts from Phase 1 to fast contacts in Phase 2.
Phase 3: Post-Season (Specific)
Big increase in intensity and specificity. Strongest effort and duration of jump, sprint, and plyometric work. The focus should be at 90% max effort, hard but not measured. When working at 97% max it should be all out but at a relaxed state.
Phase 4: Off-Season (Flight & Explosive Force)
This power-based phase will focus on flight and explosive force. However, the goal of this phase is to slightly under train while rotating through force, repetition, and speed techniques. Actual jumping is of the highest priority. It is recommended that you supplement with more HIIT classes during this phase when needed. This is a great route for elite team sport athletes to take.
The 52 week program to increase vertical is only available in the Recovery + Jump Yearly Program. Get started with a 7-day free trial.
