A4Y JOURNAL

Athletes for Yoga Pros Chelsea Sodaro and Stephanie Howe are celebrating their first Mother's Day this Sunday. Ultra Runner Stephanie Howe welcomed a beautiful baby boy, Julien Axel, on December 11, 2020 and triathlete Chelsea Sodaro welcomed her daughter Skye on March 16, 2021.

We caught up with these two mamas to talk about their first months of motherhood. They both have so much insight, humor, and realness to share. We know you'll enjoy reading!

Use A4Y like a pro! This week, Kendra Chambers shares a week from her A4Y Practice Plan.

Erin here — honored to share insights and inspiration for how to incorporate Yoga for Pregnant Athletes throughout your pregnancy. This is essentially the advice I’ve given myself, but it's so different for every woman — the most important thing is to listen to your body and be willing to accept where you're at and respond accordingly. Trust your body and trust your baby.

You've used the last 3 weeks to practice functional strength, strategic injury prevention, and optimized recovery. You've learned about your body, its imbalances, and how to use yoga in context of your goals and your real life. Now it’s time to make your own 7 day plan!

If you are looking to stretch the boundaries of your potential, optimized recovery is the game changer. Recovery is often the least planned and most underutilized tool to optimize performance. This week you’re going to change that and feel the difference!

This week use Athletes for Yoga to practice Strategic Injury Prevention. While the entire A4Y library is designed for injury prevention, this week you’ll use some of our most strategic injury prevention videos to solve common problems including unstable feet, knee pain, and stiff hamstrings — imbalances that can become injuries when left unaddressed.

It’s the first week of summer! This week we’re celebrating by sharing our favorite outdoor studio sessions. These videos require no props! Plus with the new app and video platform you can take your favorite Resets offline. No wifi, no problem.

Use yoga every day. This week we’re celebrating our newest Pro Athlete for Yoga, Chelsea Sodaro, with a week dedicated to Yoga for Triathletes! You don’t have to be a triathlete to benefit from these Resets. We’ve picked 7 routines that, while being triathlon-specific, also address universal athlete problems and human imbalances.

You can't pour from an empty cup. We've all heard this. We've all felt it. We are using yoga every day this week to recharge with mental focus training and physical relaxation practice — meditation + restorative yoga.

Real recovery is intentional, active, and critical if you want to continue moving forward. This is true in sport and in life. Use it so that you can keep going. Join us.

Use yoga every day. This week use yoga like a pro! Every day you'll use one of our Athletes for Yoga Pros' favorite Resets.

You know how — bookmark the plan (below) and follow @athletesforyogahq. We’ll share the daily video + why and how the A4Y Pros use it…
