Yoga for Rowers ( Private )

Service Description

Rowing places sustained demands on the hips, lower back, shoulders, and thoracic spine, while requiring strong postural muscles and efficient breath control. This series focuses on improving mobility where rowers tend to feel restricted, building functional strength to support repetitive motion, and enhancing body awareness to reduce injury risk. Each weekly class blends mobility, strength, and recovery, with an emphasis on: Hip and hamstring mobility Thoracic spine rotation and extension Shoulder stability and range of motion Core and postural strength Breath awareness for endurance and focus Classes are accessible to all levels and do not require prior yoga experience. Movements are purposeful, rowing-informed, and adaptable, making this series appropriate during the season or as off-water training. What to Expect Each Week Week 1 – Foundations & Mobility Focus on opening the hips and hamstrings, mobilizing the spine, and introducing basic breath awareness. This class establishes movement patterns that support efficient rowing mechanics. Week 2 – Core & Postural Strength Build strength in the core, back, and stabilizing muscles that support sustained effort at the catch and drive. Emphasis on posture, balance, and fatigue-resistant strength. Week 3 – Rotation, Reach & Shoulders Target thoracic rotation, shoulder mobility, and upper-body integration to support powerful, efficient strokes while reducing strain in the neck and shoulders. Week 4 – Recovery, Resilience & Integration A slower, more restorative class that integrates the previous weeks. Focus on nervous system regulation, longer holds, and recovery practices to support longevity in rowing.
