So I watched a video on Graham Holmberg, this year’s CF Games champion, and it turns out he is a HUGE advocate of power vinyasa yoga (he dates a lulu girl). Anyway, this is exactly what our resident yogi Laura teaches and it can help you get that extra hip and shoulder flexibility you need to get better across the board in Crossfit and in life.
