Benefits of Yoga for Athletic Performance.

People ask me all the time about the benefits of yoga and how it translates to Sport and Athletic Performance. So will it actually make a difference? HELL YEA!

It improves:

1. Flexibility

2. Mobility

3. Range of Motion

4. Power

5. Endurance

6. Balance & Stability

7. Focus & Concentration

8. Body awareness/Proprioception

9. Injury Prevention

10. Breathing (Control)

11. Recovery

The majority if not all top athletes and/or elite sportspeople incorporate some form of mobility work into their training schedule, whether it’s Pilates, Yoga, static stretching or one of the many other forms but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s just for people who play a sport or go to the gym, literally everyone can benefit from yoga, even if it’s only 10/15 mins a day or week.

Each Monday, I will take an in-depth look into one of the benefits above and give you no nonsense, easy to understand information around it.
