Body Balanced Players

Mona O’Donoghue led many of our Under-Age Players through a Body Balance Session in Scoil na gCeithre Máistrí last Sunday evening, as they worked to improve their Balance and Flexibility,

Body Balance is a yoga-based class that teaches participants to bend and stretch through a series of yoga moves while embracing elements of Tai Chi and Pilates to promote controlled breathing.

It was the first experience of this for all the players and it really opened their eyes to some fabulous stretches, moves and complex poses, such as the Bird Pose, which is one they will all aspire to achieve for longer than a few seconds. Mona led a fantastic session and all the players thoroughly it, so many thanks to Mona for inspiring this next generation. There’s one last fitness session for these group of players before Christmas: a Power & Resistance Session next Sunday at 5pm in the Gaelscoil.

Happy Hurling Christmas
