Unit PT Event: Covey Time Management Matrix + Yoga

12/17/2025

0 Comments

Today I'll be leading mini-yoga sessions in a unit PT event. Yoga will be one of four stations supporting the adaptation of the Covey Time Management Matrix. Yoga can integrate easily with a military career, PT exercise and recovery, and overall mindset/wellbeing.

Breathing, especially deep breathing, calms the nervous system—even just one breath can make a difference. The mind can become more calm, clear, and focused. Couple breathwork with physical exertion and stress release, the whole person can experience self-awareness, helping to acknowledge essential tasks over non-essential.

Yoga is also the perfect complement to strength training and weightlifting routines. We hear that yoga increases flexibility, a common “side-effect” of a steady practice, but what this actually means is an increase in overall joint mobility.

Having a full range of motion in the body can

increase your strength,
help you to balance and properly align the body in weightlifting,
lead to less injury and inflammation,
and decrease soreness with quicker recovery and gain.

What to Expect in Your First Yoga Class

1/17/2025

0 Comments

If you’re new to the physical practice of yoga, coming to your first class can be intimidating. Your monologue (sanskrit: citta vritti) will do its very best to conjure nervousness or anxiety, which will create fanciful stories of contortionist yogis, Olympic trials for flexibility, a severely branded fashion show, and so on. I’m here to tell you this is all a daydream.

Preparing for Class

Find clothing that allows you to move freely. It can be stretchy or loose, but not itchy or restricting. (Please note DoD facilities have a dress code.)
Bring warm clothes and socks to layer at the end of class. In the cooler months the body may get too cool after the physical practice closes.
