Yoga for Athletes: Grapplers

with Jim Bennitt

If you’re into wrestling, jiu jitsu, sambo, or any other “grappling art” (as Jim puts it), this hip and shoulder mobility class is for you. You’ll begin with a joint-focused warm-up and then move on to a plank to child’s pose to lunge flow. After that comes hip-opening movements in sphinx pose, swimmers (a shoulder mobility practice), seated hip-strengthening twists, dynamic bridge variations, and more. Then, once the active work is over, you’ll rest in savasana.

Props: none
