Malasana is a highly effective isometric Yoga pose that opens up the ankle joints, strengthens leg musculature, releases lower back tension, and restores whole-body postural alignment. I advised him to practice this daily, alongside a few other tailored exercises, to maximize his mobility before the race. The client has since returned to France and will be back in Tenerife after the competition. I’ll keep you posted on his progress!
Takeaway Athletes—aside from top professionals who have dedicated personal trainers—frequently overlook a crucial element: daily body preparation through simple Yoga postures. A basic 20-minute daily routine yields huge dividends in focus, body awareness, flexibility, and muscle tone.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to provide an at-home sports massage for a French client who will be competing in a triathlon in two months. The client had been here in Tenerife for a few weeks to train and wanted to boost his physical performance through regular sports massage sessions. He had a blocked right ankle due to a severe past injury—now healed, but left with severely reduced mobility that was causing overall spinal misalignment and stiffness.
During the first session, I realized he didn’t need deep tissue muscle release in his legs as much as he did in his back (especially along the paravertebrals). What he truly needed were targeted stretches and joint mobilizations, particularly for his locked right ankle.
This is where my nearly thirty years of Hatha Yoga practice came into play. I suggested integrating a dedicated sequence of Yoga asanas (postures) at the end of our next session to directly target his restrictions. A few days later, after completing his massage, I invited him onto a Yoga mat and guided him through several key postures to unlock his stiffness—including Malasana.
