Unit PT Event: Covey Time Management Matrix + Yoga

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.​
