Will yoga help my martial arts training?

While there are no guarantees in life, yoga will almost certainly help your martial arts training, regardless of the style or system you practice. Yoga does this by training you to be more intentional with your movements and your actions.

Yoga is associated with improved balance and proprioception. It can improve your physical performance and reduce your risk of injury by increasing your muscle tone and mobility. Practicing yoga has also been correlated with improved sleep and recovery, which is vital to keep you coming back to class.

How long will it take to notice changes in my body?

We all want to look good and feel good. Every body is different, and no one can promise you a specific end result like washboard abs or being able to do a full split.

But, with a little commitment to a simple daily routine and a couple of structured classes a week, many people see noticeable improvement in their movement and function within just a few months.

Of course, yoga is about building a practice of self-care for a lifetime.

REMEMBER YOGA IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR:

Physical Therapy;

Sports and Personal Fitness Training.

Always consult with your trusted healthcare provider(s) before beginning any new fitness program, including yoga.

What can I expect from a group class?

Group classes are currently hosted twice a week at 10th Planet Dallas. To check the schedule and learn more visit 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu | North Dallas TX (10thplanetjjdallas.com)

Group classes are geared towards beginners and designed to address common sources of bodily dysfunction in grapplers like tight hip flexors, rounded shoulders and stiff joints. Particular emphasis is placed on asymmetric training to address imbalances that form over time from preferred stances and techniques (e.g., always falling to the right hip in rubber guard).

A 10th Planet membership or day-pass is required to participate in group classes.

What can I expect from a private class?

Private classes give an opportunity to observe your movement patterns carefully and come up with a plan tailored to your specific goals.

In addition to real-time feedback on postures and stretches, you will receive recommendations for at-home practice, pre-class warm-ups and post-class cooldowns.

All private class students also receive discounted rates for online content!
