If yoga is yin, CrossFit is most certainly yang. They’re opposites, to be sure, but are they separate? Some CrossFitters don’t think so, including 2010 CrossFit Games champ Graham Holmberg, who was recently featured doing yoga in a video titled Om and Holmberg.
“I’ve experienced gains from (yoga),”Holmberg said.“That’s probably the biggest seller for me. I’ve felt my hips opening up. I can feel my ankles getting looser, my wrists. Lately I’ve been racking a barbell and I’m like, ‘Wow, I’m not even that warmed up yet and I can get that barbell racked much better than I feel like I usually can.’”
He continued: “If you can find a yoga practice that fits into your schedule or you’re willing to make some adjustments in your schedule and get involved with it, I think it can be beneficial.”
Well what do you know... We have the perfect opportunity for you to give Yoga a try. Every Sunday Denise Donohue will be leading our new Yoga class at 9:00am.
The first class is this Sunday so be sure to come down.
Thanks Denise!
Yoga was great this morning- even if we were missing a bunch of party animals from the group... Happy Birthday Tara!
