Our Elite Athlete Programme (EA) is for our Tribe community members who play sport professionally for a premier league team or national squad. The benefits of practicing yoga to professional athletes, especially those in high intensity contact sports like rugby, have become increasingly well-known over recent years. Aside from enhancing flexibility, yoga increases oxygen intake, lowers blood pressure, and increases circulation. It is also no secret that professional athletes are under an enormous amount of stress, and yoga proves incredibly beneficial to maintaining mental clarity and mitigating stress and anxiety. Yoga, therefore, is surprisingly compatible and complimentary to a professional training regiment. Our Yin Yoga and Yin Yang Yoga classes are particularly popular among our Elite Athletes, as it places great emphasis on enhancing flexibility and mobility, while continuing to develop core strength. Our EAs include players for Edinburgh Rugby, Scottish Hockey, Cricket Scotland, and members of Team GB.

Members of Tribe’s Elite Athlete programme are sponsored through a free full Tribe membership and are encouraged to practice yoga as much as possible. Professional athletes not only represent our great city and country, they also serve as role models for the next generations of athletes. They truly help the many!
