I absolutely love the Rodney Yee “Yoga Conditioning for Athletes” DVD workout video. My friend Ginger told me about that DVD last year. It is the perfect workout to stretch and release all the parts of your body that are tight from sports. I also love the yoga teaching aspect of his videos. I feel both physically and mentally refreshed after spending an hour with Rodney Yee.
I’ve been studying all my old training logs leading up to last year’s Duke Half and B2B races. I figured whatever I did then, aside from training, must have worked because I had great races those two days. One thing I did, was lots and lots of yoga. And lots of getting my mind ready to race.
So, I was googling Rodney Yee yoga, and came across a great video on the Gaiam website about quieting the mind in every situation, including sports and combat, and how freeing your mind brings better performance. Good stuff, watch it:

Here’s another video, that talks about Quieting the Mind by finding the eye of the hurricane. I’m going to think about this while doing my yoga workout later this evening, especially during tree pose. If I can do tree pose with ease, then I know I am ready to race.
