Maxine Bahns got hooked on the exhilaration of athletic competition
in 2000, when she entered her first triathlon at age 30 and finished

Joy Ride
It's early in her morning practice when Gillian Gibree takes a familiar asana: Adho Mukha Svanasana
(Downward-Facing Dog Pose). To start waking up her arms and legs, she
presses evenly through her hands and feet. She lifts her sitting bones
skyward as she relaxes her neck and finds extension in her long spine.
Yoga Takes a Hike
It's summer, and a hike in the sunshine beckons—but so does the yoga
class that starts in 15 minutes. Fortunately, opportunities to mix a
session of invigorating trail hiking with focused, mat-free asana
practice are everywhere these days.
Play it Forward
If you love sports you know that injuries come with the

or in many cases both! But if you practice yoga, you have a great tool
at your disposal for preventing injuries. A yoga practice encourages you to take inventory of your body as you
practice.
