Hot Yoga is the ideal practice for athletes of all kinds. A regular yoga practice will give you improved balance, core strength, overall power, flexibility, range of motion, and mental focus. The heat makes your muscles more elastic and pliable which allows for deeper, safer stretching, it enhances vasodilation so more blood and oxyen is delivered to the muscles, it speeds up the breakdown of glucose and fatty acids, and it thins the blood, increasing the heart rate for an excellent cardiovascular workout.
Top professional and recreational athletes are finally discovering the edge they can get by incorporating a regular yoga practice in to their training schedules. It also helps prevent injury by lengthening muscles, strengthening and lubricating joints, and increasing range of motion. It gives the body a needed rest from repetitive motions of one sport while still offering a cardiovascular workout. And, the breath control learned in yoga will help keep your body and mind calm in stressful conditions.
A regular yoga practice will give you:
- Improved performance
- Reduced risk of injury
