In addition to working with Manchester United’s first team for five seasons, I’ve also worked privately with a number of ex-professional athletes, as well as amateur cyclists, tennis players, golfers and equestrians
Sports people have found the work they’ve done with me to be instrumental in decreasing their injury statistics and improving the longevity of their careers and sporting interests.
A unique hallmark of Iyengar yoga is the focus on correct body alignment, and balanced development of strength and flexibility. Careful execution of posture work, using props to adapt to each individual’s needs and abilities, creates more resilient less injury prone muscles and joints.
Through repeated careful application of specific techniques a tendency to repeated injuries is lessened and excessive wear and tear significantly reduced.
