Practice Yoga And Improve An Athlete’s Performance
I’m just having fun with you. I think if it ever was an Olympic sport nobody would watch, but everyone would want to participate. I really can’t say how many of the Olympic athletes practice yoga along with their other training regime, but it may be accurate to say that by watching how strong and flexible they are, it is a good bet that yoga is very much part of their training.
Just watch the skating competition. I love it when they hold their skate pull it high toward their head and go it to an incredible fast spin. One has to be extremely strong and flexible to pull such a feat. Yoga helps strengthen a competitor’s body, helps develop better concentration and prepares their mental state allowing them to relax in all for the betterment to improve an athlete’s performance. Yoga is the perfect vehicle for treating injuries and preventing them too.
