Flexibility for Athletes Testimonials

“We have worked with Ed Harrold during our pre-season training to incorporate his breathing techniques, yoga postures and meditation into our curriculum.  His breathing techniques have conditioned our athletes how to excel in their cardiovascular and respiratory performance.  The yoga postures allow for more flexibility within the muscle groups getting over-trained and strengthen the secondary muscles for our sport.  The meditation and relaxation is always a treat at the end!”

“Our yoga sessions with Ed Harrold were an integral part of our training program.  The sessions fit seamlessly into our training regimen.  Besides the obvious benefits in understanding our breathing and gaining more flexibility and balance, we grew more confident in what we were capable of as individuals and as a team.  Thanks for working with us over the past couple of years Ed.  The skills, information and experience that we took out of your sessions was invaluable to us and contributes greatly to our successes.  Thanks again.  We are looking forward to next year.”
