I have a specific interest in yoga for roller derby, a full contact all-female* sport played on quad roller skates.
If you are a roller derby player or league, get in touch about tailored sessions to help you get the best out of your bodies and minds on the track.
What has yoga got to offer a derby player?
Yoga can really help to enliven pre-training or pre-bout stretching, making it engaging for your players and ensuring better commitment to stretching which improves posture, flexibility and reduces injury.
It can also help to target some of those mental conditioning issues which can hold back a player on track. In my sessions I use visualisations and affirmations to bring skaters into a focused and mentally toned headspace, ready to go out and skate for the win.
