At Kenkatsu Benidorm, we offer Yoga classes designed specifically for people seeking to improve their performance through the development of flexibility, mobility and mental wellbeing. Our approach combines traditional Yoga practice with a sports performance perspective, helping to prevent injuries, improve recovery and optimise physical and mental balance.
Yoga at Kenkatsu is not just a complementary activity. It is a strategic tool for people who want to develop a solid foundation of flexibility and mobility, improve their recovery, reduce muscle tension and optimise their performance through better balance between body and mind.
What is Yoga?
Yoga is an ancient practice that integrates physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation to promote the integral wellbeing of body and mind. Originating in India, Yoga has adapted to modern needs, including specific variants for people seeking to improve their performance.
Fundamental Principles
- ✓ Postures (Asanas): Physical positions that improve strength, flexibility and balance
- ✓ Breathing (Pranayama): Breath control techniques to improve oxygenation and concentration
- ✓ Meditation: Mindfulness practice to improve mental focus and reduce stress
- ✓ Mobility: Development of range of motion and flexibility in all joints
- ✓ Balance: Improvement of physical and mental balance
- ✓ Relaxation: Techniques to reduce muscle tension and promote recovery
The Kenkatsu Difference
At Kenkatsu, we adapt Yoga practice specifically for people, incorporating sequences and postures that complement different sports disciplines, improve recovery and prevent common injuries.
Benefits for Athletes
1. Improved Flexibility and Mobility
Yoga significantly improves flexibility and range of motion in all joints, essential for preventing injuries and optimising sports performance. Greater mobility allows more efficient movements and reduces muscle tension.
2. Injury Prevention
Yoga postures actively work on correcting muscle imbalances and improving joint mobility, providing protection against common sports injuries, especially those related to lack of flexibility or muscle imbalances.
3. Improved Recovery
Yoga promotes blood circulation, reduces muscle tension and accelerates recovery between intense training sessions. Restorative postures are especially effective for active recovery.
4. Reduction of Stress and Anxiety
Yoga breathing and meditation techniques help reduce stress and anxiety, improving mental and emotional state, crucial for sports performance and managing competitive pressure.
5. Improved Balance and Coordination
Balance postures in Yoga improve stability, balance and coordination, essential skills for any sports discipline that translate directly into better performance.
6. Development of Functional Strength
Many Yoga postures require and develop functional strength, especially in the core, which is fundamental for sports performance and injury prevention.
