Yoga for football players complements training on the pitch with leg stretches and hip mobility exercises. Hip mobility matters for a long stride, changes of direction and drawing your leg back to kick the ball. You'll practice lunges and forward bends, stretch your thigh muscles and engage your core.
This 45-minute class includes “Diamond Pose on Tiptoes”, “Half Side Splits Pose” and “Happy Baby Pose”. You'll finish by lying down to rest.
Try the 45-minute class alongside your regular sports training.
After an intense game, choose your level of effort according to how you feel and avoid forcing stretches in sore muscles. After an injury, choose a recovery program tailored to your needs.
