The OM Yoga show at Event City last weekend was
amazing!
Two days of everything Yoga from Laughing Yoga to Yogi Tea.
The highlight for the
Bulletproofbodies Team was Sarah Ramsden’s “Yoga and Injury” Workshop.
Sarah has been a Yoga Practitioner for over 20 years.
She is trusted with some of the most expensive bodies in Football.
Most notorious for working with Ryan Giggs and keeping him Premiership Fit with Man Utd up until he was 40!
The DVD with Giggsy is 8 years old now but nothing has changed in the Yoga practice, it's all about being safe in every posture.
Sarah highlights that we need to talk about Yoga and Injury, which is the conversation that we have at Bulletproofbodies on a daily basis.
We love CrossFit, OCR, Yoga, Distance running, Triathlon, Power lifting, Olympic lifting, Gymnastics, to name but a few, but there are risks associated with everything, including the Sports which we all love!
Sarah posed some interesting questions.
In Yoga, we are either just "making shapes" and it doesn't matter how you make that shape.
Or.
Every single posture and joint placement is important and it all matters.
We agree with Sarah, because this is exactly what we teach in Extreme Sports with our clients.
The Workshop focused in a deep dive on only two postures.
The importance of the pelvic position was key.
In Yoga, which has more Female clients than Male there is a tendency to default into an Anterior Tilt position in every posture.
This effectively creates slack in the system.
However, by simply correcting your pelvic position to a more posterior tilt, it changes the whole posture.
