Olympian’s Yoga Edge: Boosting Performance with Sports-Specific Practice

Yoga is Not a Worldwide Recipe: How Athletes Benefit from Tailored Yoga Programs

Hayley Winter’s initial reaction to yoga was “boring.”

“Coming from a dance background, I injured myself at 20. Someone suggested a yoga course. I found it boring because I was used to constant movement, like most athletes.”

However, she persisted, and after three weeks, she experienced a significant change. This marked the beginning of a 30-year career during which she developed and shaped Yoga Sports Science.

“Yoga is not a universal recipe,” Winter states. “There is no one-size-fits-all solution. the key to sports-specific yoga is focusing on the athlete, helping every yoga teacher or yoga-sports coach understand the nature of the sport.”

“The demands of the sport are crucial in determining the appropriate training and intervention strategies.”

For exmaple, consider Diving, a sport that Winter connects with Leon Taylor, former British Olympic participant and long-time mentor of olympic champion Thomas Daley.
