Now I can train SMART instead of just hard. I developed that body awareness through the postures in Kris’ program. My performance in the weight room has reached a personal peak. But better still, yoga has kept me INJURY FREE. And that’s no small feat for someone who spends so much time at a desk... I’ve got more strength and power than ever before (even at my age) Erwin Thomas, Cuyahoga County Spartans “Yoga was great.
It’s muscle imbalances. Every step you take during your run emphasizes these imbalances. And over time they place wear and tear on your joints and connective tissue. Until they suddenly “snap”...

I ski less than I ever have — sometimes only a couple hours a week. But my performance hasn’t gotten worse. In fact, I’m skiing better than ever.
