A very practice-friendly companion to Sage Rountreee’s Yoga for Athletes , titled The Athlete’s Pocket Guide to Yoga, is coming out in just a few weeks, and you can view some samples from the book now. The new book is spiral bound, so it’ll lie flat beside you on your yoga mat as you learn the poses through following what appears to be excellent color photography.
Sage’s original YFA gave me the direction and inspiration I needed to switch from strength training to yoga as part of training. She is a highly respected yoga coach and a triathlete as well, so she certainly understands where us “weekend warriors,” as well as more serious runners and athletes, are coming from and where we need the most help.
I pre-ordered a copy of the new book months ago, and can’t wait. A shorter routine I cobbled together from several poses in YFA really aided my recovery from a couple of longer, much warmer runs this past weekend. It’s getting harder to imagine my day without at least a few minues of yoga via YFA.
Highly recommended.
