At Gymtastics GymTools, we really see the benefits of yoga.
Some practice yoga to de-stress, focus the mind and meditate. While others do it for the the stretching and flexibility it offers. Whatever the reason, most people agree that they feel so much better and see the health benefits after practicing yoga. It has become one of the most popular ways to stay in shape mentally and physically. Obviously from a gymnastics perspective flexibility is of the utmost importance and we promote improving your flexibility through various stretching exercises. We believe incorporating some yoga fundamentals into your recreational gymnastics classes can help make your program more innovative and fun.
You are never too young or too old to reap the health benefits of yoga. So we have developed a wide variety of stretching tools to suite any program. Everything from yoga station cards/illustrations and stretching outlines to more advanced pre-comp flexibility and fitness testing packages and guides. Our visual bundles are great to set up stretching stations during your warm ups.
Good flexibility is essential to doing good gymnastics and it can prevent future injury. We offer many innovative ways to add some flexibility to any class.
Namaste!
