People have a misconception about Yoga that it is for
older women that just want to learn how to relax, breathe, and are
unable do a hardcore fitness workout like a young athlete.
This is a completely wrong statement because Yoga works
yours entire body and firms your muscles.
Several benefits of yoga for athletes of all levels.
Three of the most notable effects of Yoga involve:
1. Core
Many of the poses and exercises in traditional Yoga are core-strengthening, which can give athletes of any sport an added advantage. Holding the positions in Yoga lead to increased strength in your abs, glutes, lower back, and other parts of the core. Yoga can also strengthen muscles ignored by your typical weight-lifting and workout regimens.
2. Breathing and Concentration
Breathing is obviously an enormous part of any sport or athletic endeavor, and Yoga can help athletes form and maintain the habit of deep, relaxed breathing. In turn, this kind of breathing can also improve concentration and "center" an athlete, reducing anxiety during a game or match.
3. Flexibility
For some sports, hard, intense training can leave out one important aspect: stretching and flexibility. Yoga can improve flexibility and range of motion in personal problem areas and generally tight muscles. Added flexibility allows athletes to reach their full potential in their sport.
In these three areas- and more- Yoga demonstrates that it has superb cross-training benefits, allowing you to complement and enhance your usual fitness routine.

It is always good to change up your workout regimin to keep it from getting
boring and to not allow your muscles to conform to your regular workout.
Keep sweating it!
