US Bobsled and Skeleton Federation WOW

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Prisca and I, along with Laura Marx (our expert on anatomy and biomechanics) had the opportunity to teach yoga to the US Bobsled and Skeleton Federation at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. On June 3rd, we had a two hour session in the morning and another one in the afternoon.

It is such an honor to work with this level of athlete. They learn so quickly and are so in tune with their bodies. They are focused and determined. We hope that Pulse Yoga will become a part of their regular training program. We left them with Pulse Yoga I, II, III and Express and our Yoga for Athletes Fitness System Book.

If any of you from the team have any comments about the workshop, please feel free to post them here. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to work with you.
