Summary

Integrating Yoga into endurance sports goes well-beyond simply attending a weekly 60-minute yoga class or 90-minute hot yoga session. Performance yoga, like Jasyoga, is a key tool in your approach to maximizing your individual performance no matter what level you are.

It truly creates an integrated athletic mindset by:
