How Yoga Prepares Athletes for Sports and Training

 

As a former ski racer who has remained physically active through a range of outdoor sports, I wanted the athlete’s perspective to be a core component of Artemis Yoga’s DNA when we opened our yoga center last December.

Many of Artemis Yoga’s students are working professionals in a range of fields who are either former high school or college athletes. Other students have discovered a passion for triathlons, road racing, trail running, rowing, cycling or swimming in their 20’s, 30’s or 40’s.

In addition, our students are seeking work-life balance, focus and mindfulness in a professional world that has stretched “working hours” into the evening and weekends. As a former software product marketing professional in Silicon Valley and Boston, I know first-hand the stresses that arise when one seeks to balance a high-performance work environment, family, friends and a commitment to physical fitness.Runfellow Run Club

We have developed a curriculum and a specific set of classes for people like you. You work hard in a range of professional roles, value work-life balance and want to gain the benefits of cross-training, focus and mindfulness that can be achieved through the practice of yoga. We make it easy for you to get started by keeping our yoga center and classes welcoming and low-ego for those who are new to yoga as well as for those who are more experienced in their yoga practice.

I am proud of our experienced and friendly yoga instructor team, which includes former college varsity soccer, basketball, track and volleyball athletes as well as current college varsity coaches. Several of our instructors are also active runners, swimmers, cyclists, soccer players and skiers.

Over the past year, Artemis Yoga has had the opportunity to develop its expertise in yoga as a complement to training for younger athletes through our yoga series with Boston College varsity women’s soccer coach Alison Foley, aptly named Soccer on the Mat™.  We have also provided a customized series of off-season yoga classes to women’s college teams and local high school soccer teams and lacrosse teams with our Yoga for Teams program.High school varsity lacrosse team enjoying in-season yoga classes

We are now expanding the Artemis Yoga for Athletes™ curriculum to specifically provide classes on Mondays & Wednesdays at 5:45pm to working professionals who have a passion for running, cycling, swimming, golf and other sports. We are excited to help our students complement their training regimes – from triathlon preparation to improving how one feels on more casual weekend runs.

In addition to improving flexibility, balance, and core strength, we help our students improve focus and mindfulness. Focus and “living in the moment” are important to athletes in their sports as well as at work and at home. Our goal is that Artemis’ yoga and mindfulness classes will improve your athletic performance, focus and overall mental sharpness.

We invite you to come by and give Artemis Yoga for Athletes™ a try! You can check them out on the schedule on Mondays & Wednesdays @ 5:45pm. You may also find that our traditional yoga classes and mindfulness classes are a fit for you before work, over lunch, after work and on weekends.

Accommodation Policy

Artemis Yoga is committed to enable individuals with disabilities to participate as fully as possible in classes at our yoga studio. On the first level there is a wheelchair accessible entrance, yoga class studio and bathroom.
All classes on the first floor are wheelchair accessible in our flagship, primary studio. The lower level studio is reached by two stairways. In the event that a class in the lower level is not accessible to a participant, the studio owner or manager on-premise will adjust that class location to the first floor, grade level studio. With reasonable notice, this change will readily be made as an accommodation.


The request can be made in person, via email or telephone and advance notice of the request to the studio is appreciated. Artemis Yoga will make an earnest effort and attempt to provide reasonable accommodation pending timely notice by participants needing such accommodations.

Artemis Yoga will also work with the individual to ensure that participation in class is achievable. This may include providing additional props, chairs or hands-on assistance that the teacher is able to deliver while continuing to teach the class to all participants.

If you have any questions regarding this policy, please reach out directly to the studio owner, Liz Padula.

Print Instructions

Step 1: Use your MINDBODY account with Artemis Yoga to register for the class. 

  • Meeting ID in the class description.
  • Please register in advance to streamline attendance and to allow us to send you a recording if you miss the class or join late.
  • Please register even if the class is listed as “free community class.”

Step 2: Log into https://zoom.us/join and enter the Class-Specific Meeting ID then click “Join”.  

  • Meeting ID in the class description. 
  • Start the login process 10-15 minutes before class so that you are ready.
  • We recommend downloading the Zoom client on your computer, laptop, tablet, or phone. You can enter the Meeting ID number from there.

Step 3: Once you click on the Meeting ID, register with your name and email in Zoom. Please use your real name so we can match with Mindbody. You will then be entered in the “Waiting Room.” 

  • The Waiting Room is where Artemis Staff checks attendance. If we can’t identify you from your Zoom user name, you will not be let into class. 
  • You will be asked if you registered in Mindbody, if you had trouble doing so, please click “No” and stay in the Waiting Room, we will assist you after class. 
  • We start letting people in from the Waiting Room 15 minutes prior to class. Large classes take a bit for us to check everyone in, please be patient.

Step 4: When let in from the waiting room, click “Join with Computer Audio.” 

  • We mute participants during class but you may unmute yourself at any time to ask questions or to say hello! We like to see you and greet you, though you may choose to turn your camera off. 
  • Use “Chat” to communicate if you do not want to speak out loud. 
  • Zoom prompts for consent to be in a recorded class, please accept so you may continue to be in class. Note that the recording is set to record only the teacher who is in the spotlight. Recordings are sent to registrants who are absent.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US ONLINE FOR CLASS!
