TENNIS MAGAZINE reports:"At first glance, yoga and tennis don't seem like a good match. One is stationary and deliberate, the other fast-paced and dynamic. But in recent years, many professional players have found them to be complementary. John McEnroe, Todd Martin, Greg Rusedski, Serena Williams, and, most recently, Maria Sharapova have all used the centuries-old Eastern regimen to improve in a number of areas crucial to tennis: core strength, balance, mental calmness, and flexibility."

Anastasia has been playing tennis for more than 20 years and used to be a ranked junior player. Anastasia has always loved the game, but unfortunately, before discovering yoga, her knee and back injuries used to really bother her on the court. After starting a yoga practice, Anastasia detected a significant improvement in her lower back and knee injuries and a positive change in her tennis game. She realized that her yoga practice helped her to be lighter, more graceful on the court, while still maintaining her strength and power. She also discovered that yoga has helped her to become a lot more centered and focused. Anastasia was so happy with her discoveries, that she decided to share them with fellow tennis players. Anastasia is currently teaching Steady Bliss Yoga for Great Tennis privately and in tennis clubs. |
