7 Yoga Poses for Athletes: Pose 3 Gomukhasana/Cow Face

Continuing on in our series on my favorite Yoga Poses for Athletes. Whether you run or bike, these will help to relax tension in the spine, create openess in the hamstrings, IT band and hips. These exercises not only help with preventing injury as you train but will actually help you perform better.
