About YogiAthlete: Recovery & Performance Training for Athletes in Evanston
WHERE SPORT MEETS Recovery
Athletes are taught to grind. Very few are taught to recover.
YogiAthlete trains the side of performance that most programs skip: mobility, recovery, breath, and focus. We work with junior high, high school, youth club, collegiate, and adult athletes across Evanston and the North Shore. The goal is simple: stay healthy, play longer, and perform under pressure.
In a culture that celebrates hustle, we teach athletes when to slow down.
What We Do
Recovery & Mobility: Yoga-based and strength training sessions that restore range of motion and help reduce the wear that leads to injury.
Breathwork & Mental Focus: Tools athletes can use before a game, at the free-throw line, or the night before a big test.
Team Programs: Team 101 sessions, in-season recovery and off-season mobility blocks for schools, clubs and coaches.
Private & Small-Group Sessions: One-on-one or small-group work built around your athlete's sport, position and schedule.
Sessions run at AUX Wellness Collective in Evanston, or on-site at your school or facility.

Amir played college football and then played professionally with the Bloomington Edge. He knows firsthand what the game takes out of an athlete’s body, and what it takes to put it back.

His approach is simple: train hard, recover smarter, play longer.
