Written by former Arsenal FC physio and yoga teacher, this is a guide for all ages and abilities to help you play football better for longer.

Yoga has now become a standard part of football training with players such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo practising regularly. Sharon Heidaripour is a former professional footballer and Arsenal physio turned yoga instructor and knows all too well that the contact sport can lead to damaging injuries. However, many of them can be prevented if you can spot areas getting fatigued, overloaded, imbalanced or to become inflexible.

In this step-by-step guide, Sharon teaches you routines that can be integrated into your daily life – on and off the pitch – and weekly training to help prevent injury and support recovery. Exercises focus on hip mobility, hamstring prehab and rehab, lower back mobility, relaxation and breathwork through morning, evening, pre-training and pre-match, post-training and post-match routines.

With full-colour photographs, Sharon shares more than 70 yoga poses and routines with clear instructions, top tips and options to suit all levels and ages, whether you are a casual, amateur or professional player.

Sharon Heidaripour is an international yoga teacher and founder of Football Yoga, an organisation working with players to enhance performance through yoga. She has worked as a physio at Chelsea FC and Arsenal FC before retraining as a yoga teacher, and her work has been featured in many outlets including FourFourTwo, The Sun, The Mirror, Sky Sports and The Athletic.
