The coaching from TUNE is done both on the yoga mat and on the bike. While I am technically a certified yoga “instructor”, I prefer the term yoga “coach” or even “guide” as it better speaks to the objective of using the tangibles and intangibles of yoga to optimize sports performance. In addition, I am a USA Cycling Federation Level 3 certified coach and work with cyclists and triathletes on the bike.
CYCLING COACH
I also work with cyclists and triathletes on the bike with a variety of goals from introduction to principles such as cadence, form, climbing/descending technique to training plans and goal setting.
For both yoga and cycling, individual, personalized attention allows for customized focus on your needs. Group/team sessions for teams can be geared toward specific events/games, training goals or just for group solidarity.
YOGA GUIDE
Drawing the linkage of yoga and sports performance, I work with a wide range of both recreational and competitive athletes from cyclists, runners, triathletes, skiers, ball players, equestrians, dancers, as well as others seeking the benefits of this ancient tradition. Some are regular yoga practitioners and others have never done a yoga pose before.
I work to lengthen overused muscles and strengthen underutilized ones for greater efficiency, balance and endurance, bringing greater awareness to the body and breaking bad postural habits that impact breathing and even confidence. I strive to offer a safe, supportive environment frequented by men, women and youth alike — most who initially asked “why yoga.”
Recent yoga for sports with these local New York teams or specific athletes on these teams has been most rewarding and successful:
- Hobart William Smith Women’s Lacrosse Team
- Honeoye Central Schools (indoor track and cross country runners)
- Canandaigua High School men’s swim team
- Moms In Motion Rochester chapter
