In this video, Stanford Football's sports performance director Shannon Turley shares with Sonia Jones his favorite pre - and post-training
yoga sequence — including the Warrior Pose
series, Triangle Pose, Pyramid Pose, and
Chair Pose — for his players.
Ashtanga, a physically demanding practice that involves synchronizing the breath with near - constant movement in a prescribed
series of postures, is already rich with Sun Salutations in the form of two sequences: Sun Salutation A and Sun Salutation B, which weaves in
Chair Pose and Warrior I. «Surya Namaskar both focuses the mind and warms up the body to do subsequent asansas,» explains Tim Miller, director of the Ashtanga
Yoga Center in Carlsbad, California.
