Yoga's hidden mental benefits for athletes

Abi Carver, founder and instructor of Yoga 15, is a two-time 200-Hour Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga Teacher and the new Yoga partner for Team Oxygenaddict. In this interview, she explains how the right yoga program, specifically focused on releasing tension in the appropriate muscles, is essential for an effective use of yoga as part of our triathlon training. Yoga 15 is a comprehensive, non-spiritual yoga program for everyday athletes, designed to support your recovery and accelerate performance. What makes this program different is that it's not only about what you accomplish in your practice but also about what your practice can help you to accomplish in other areas of your life.
