About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Mia, a seasoned yoga instructor and the creator of the Advanced Skill Certificate in Yoga for Athletes. Mia, can you tell us about your personal experiences that led you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely! As a former professional athlete and a yoga instructor, I noticed a gap in structured yoga programs specifically designed for serious athletes. I wanted to create a course that combined the biomechanics of movement with yoga techniques to enhance performance and prevent injuries. HOST: That's fascinating. How does this course cater to current industry trends in sports and wellness? GUEST: More and more athletes are recognizing the benefits of yoga, such as improved flexibility, strength, and mental focus. Our course uniquely addresses the needs of serious athletes by teaching sport-specific yoga asanas and pranayama techniques, as well as proprioception and mobility methods. HOST: Speaking of challenges, what are some common obstacles you've faced in teaching yoga to athletes? GUEST: One challenge is breaking the stereotype that yoga is just about stretching and relaxation. Athletes often need convincing that yoga can significantly improve their performance and reduce the risk of injuries. We address this by presenting scientific evidence and real-life success stories. HOST: That's a great approach. Looking toward the future, where do you see the field of yoga for athletes heading? GUEST: I believe yoga will become an essential part of athletic training programs, as more athletes and fitness professionals recognize its value. Our course is at the forefront of this movement, providing advanced skills and knowledge for those looking to excel in sports and wellness careers. HOST: Mia, thank you for sharing your insights and for creating such an innovative course. We're confident that it will help many athletes unlock their full potential.
