He can now teach yoga at any CorePower location. He attended classes every Wednesday night from 7:30-10:30 p.m. The process took about 90 days for Krogstad. "It just helps me release."Įarlier this year, Krogstad became a certified yoga instructor at CorePower Yoga. "It's my favorite because when I come back from baseball practice, I'm stiff," Krogstad said. He said his go-to class is Hot Power Fusion, which is a mixture of meditative yoga and power yoga done in a room where the temperature rises above 100 degrees. As a result, he's become better at chasing down fly balls in the outfield, stealing bases, turning singles into doubles and beating out ground balls.Įven in the midst of baseball season, Krogstad has continued to attend yoga classes about four or five times per week. Krogstad's dropped his time in the 60-yard dash from 7.2 seconds to 6.8 seconds.
Krogstad's physique has made him an intimidating presence when he steps into the batter's box, Gord said. That's where the mental advantage comes from - just understanding your body. But without pairing those two things together, you're not going to get nearly the same results.
Gord added: "A lot of kids in high school, they'll lift weights and want the beach muscles. "The two together - doing yoga or Pilates, along with a strict and intense weightlifting program - multiplies the effect of lifting weights." "When you're lifting, you're (constantly) tearing muscle fibers and rebuilding them," Gord said.
