Mobility Mondays

 

Join Team Atomica’s expert mobility coach, Katie Allen, weekly, mobility sessions on Mondays. Log into these virtual classes where you will be led through a combination of Yoga postures and Pilates-based exercises. These sessions address muscle tightness that impedes on finding your optimal range of motion to power your sport. By attending a mobility session, you can look forward to improving your ability to maintain your technique over longer periods of time, strengthening your postural muscles in addition to developing a stronger foundation in functional strength. Help speed up your recovery time between workouts and stay committed to your game!

Who can benefit from these classes:

• Athletes who are increasing their training volume over the next few months 
• Older athletes with limited range of motion in their hips, ankles, shoulders and neck
• Athletes that consistently have soreness post-workout or find themselves limiting their workouts from working with pre-existing injuries 
• Athletes who are not very flexible and want to improve their range of motion

These classes will help you:

• combat chronic muscle soreness, fatigue, and poor posture due to tight muscles
• reduce the time of post-workout recovery
