Yoga for Swim: strengthen and lengthen key muscles to improve your swim stroke
Whether you’d like to swim faster, reduce your risk of injury, or just feel better, swim-specific yoga might be the missing piece in your swim practice.
Like swimming, yoga holds strength, flexibility, and breath control at the core of its practice. By slowing down movements and focusing on key parts of the body that power your swim, this 1-hour yoga class can help you strengthen and lengthen key muscle groups to:
1. Increase body rotation and reach for a stronger pull
2. Stabilize shoulders for injury prevention
3. Prime hips for a more robust and fluid kick
4. Improve body position and streamline for greater speed
You’ll learn the anatomy of swim and build body awareness of the muscles that set your stroke up for success. And you’ll practice breath control to promote efficiency, speed, and endurance in the water. Whether you’re a beginner or master swimmer, this class can help you advance your swim. No previous yoga practice required.
