Appropriate for tennis players of all ages and ability levels, Yoga and Yoga Stretches for Tennis offers something for everyone: non-yogis will learn an improved way to loosen-up in five minutes before hitting balls, thereby lengthening and energizing their muscles which not only allows them to perform more safely and effectively, but also to relax both physical and mental tension. Individuals looking for longer yoga routines will learn how to improve strength, flexibility, and balance on the court. Individuals in need of spot work on tennis trouble areas, from the neck down, will learn helpful stretches. The setting for the first on-court segments is one of the premier tennis facilities in the world—the Longwood Cricket Club outside Boston, host to national tournaments. The DVD features renowned tennis commentator Bud Collins, who opens the DVD with a welcome, setting the scene for you to experience yoga. As the DVD emphasizes: “Yoga is for anyone, any time, any place.”
