Game Changer for My Training!
As a weekend warrior, I’m always looking for ways to boost my performance. I picked this up hoping for some cross-training ideas, and wow! These poses are tough, but they’ve seriously improved my balance and flexibility. I’ve noticed I’m recovering faster after long runs, too. I definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to up their game, no matter the sport.

Yessssss Namaste
I’m a new yoga instructor, 200 hour certification. I came to yoga as a trail marathoner who wanted to make yoga a bigger part of my life.I love power yoga, but there isn’t a studio where I Iive. So- I’ve started leading my own classes or rather inviting people to join me in a public space. This book has helped me tremendously! It’s also the 6th or 5th yoga book I’ve recently purchased, so when I say it’s the best- I’ve been doing some buying and reading! I’m on a whole yoga education and I’ve concluded power yoga is my jam.What I love:1. photos with names (both) and instructions. Additionally, when poses are used in flows, there’s a page number a you can easily go back and find the asana/instructions/names/cues/photos. Also muscle diagrams (target points)- neat addition.2. Many fun flows from easy warm ups to intense power workouts. All sequences have the photos .3. There isn’t a bunch of BS text about the author and their journey… it’s a yoga book and that’s it.4. Buy it. I’ve already dog eared the crap out of this book and included flows in my sequences.5. Winner winner – great for anyone, don’t be to be a yogi to appreciate it. It’s also fairly slim and small, which is surprising with how dense it is. Namaste

Not only FOR athletes; it MAKES and BUILDS athletes
Sean Vigue’s book is not just FOR athletes. It builds, molds, and sculpts athletic bodies, minds, and spirits: all with weight you already carry with you every day, not one ounce more :)I first encountered Sean Vigue’s practice on the internet 5 months ago, and I was less experienced and less strong than a beginner. I never imagined that, 5 months later, this book would become part of my daily routine. It is very accessible, detailed, and gradually challenges you at your own pace. It brings a sense of accomplishment and challenge that is both engaging and humbling.Thanks to the poses and the sequences, I experience and feel positive changes inside out and outside in, in every inch and fiber of muscles I never felt before. I have become much more flexible, open, ambitious, and peaceful, in my daily life as well as in my my running routine: I am running faster, longer, and more efficiently; I am able to increase my mileage more efficiently and more safely, and even more often than before. Even when I play tennis, I feel much stronger, vigilant, and body feels “sharp”, yes! I never would have thought I would use these words to describe myself! All thanks to this book and to Sean.I cannot imagine my daily life without it, and I already pre-ordered the Pilates for Athletes book.

Sean Vigue’s Power Yoga is the athlete’s secret weapon!!
I love this book! I’ve been practicing yoga for a while in class, but found it difficult to remember all but the simplest flows to practice at home – this book not only describes individual poses beautifully clearly, and has introduced me to some I didn’t even know, but it sets out a variety of vigorous flow sequences for me, so that I can practice anytime, anywhere I can lay my mat!You could argue that, in me, this wonderful book is preaching to the converted as I was already convinced of the benefits of yoga, but my previously skeptical, mad-cyclist husband has been using ‘Power Yoga for Athletes’ too, and is very excited about its potential to transform his fitness. The book demonstrates perfectly how yoga is ‘the ideal cross-training tool’, helping to overcome imbalances and asymmetries of muscle strength that many athletes may experience through conditioning in a discipline-specific way, and to develop balance, focus, flexibility – not to mention a stabilizing core strength – that help improve performance in any sport. The pose descriptions show the particular muscle groups that are activated, and indicate the sports best supported by each one – in addition, a training log at the back of the book lists the most beneficial poses by sport, allowing you to build up brand new sequences tailored to your own specific needs.Sean’s bright and engaging writing style coupled with the clear, intuitive layout make it so easy to access the excellent content, while the quality of the print and binding give the book a high-class feel that would make it an ideal gift for any athlete in your life! Five Stars, without a doubt!!

Very Beginner-Friendly
Great pictures, but I had higher hopes for the power flows they said it included. They are short and more on the beginner side than what I needed. I’m keeping because I like the way it illustrates the target body areas and the sorts it benefits.

Just did a 5 mile walk and 25 mile bike ride feel fine been using this book to stay flexy at 78 years old.

GREAT FOR ANY FITNESS FREAK!
AMAZING BOOK!! As a personal trainer, marathoner and former dancer, it’s hard to maintain flexibility and keep strength and power in my muscles. Running shortens, dance lengthens, weight training shortens..you get the point. This book kept me in line for the last 5 months. I was able to get through an entire marathon training process without issues with my IT band, hamstring, quads and calves. Coach Vigue’s exercises for runners was the perfect post long run recovery. After my race, the transition back to more strength training, was so much easier because of these exercises. I now, add more of these stretches to my own training programs to help my clients as well. This book is perfect if you are just starting, but also progresses for those that need more of a challenge. I HIGHLY recommend having this book as a integral part of any fitness library! Thank you Sean!

Me ha parecido maravilloso! Estoy más que encantada con mis ejercicios y me esta mejorando muchísimo los dolores espalda!
Paul Edgar –
There is a ton of useful information here about all aspects of yoga. I’ve been following Sean’s YouTube channel for a while and thoroughly enjoy his workouts. I’ve managed to totally transform my body through running, weight training and yoga and at 47, I feel infinitely fitter and stronger than I did 20 years ago. This book feels like a logical “next step” and I’m sure it’ll help me to improve my physical and mental performance in many areas of life. All in all, an excellent investment.

It’s easy to understand the poses by looking at the pictures, and a brief explanation of the moves is given for each pose. Also, tells you which poses benefit which body parts and gives a list of useful poses for different sports. The back fifth of the book gives you some yoga flows you can follow for various purposes, such as improving endurance or core strength. A very well thought out and organized book. Very impressed overall!
Amazon Customer –
