Answer: “Yes, and you’ll be a better athlete because of it!”

If you haven’t heard, yoga is a fantastic cross training tool for all athletes.  It keeps you strong, improves flexibility, reduces recovery time from injuries, and is a fantastic full body workout.

The guys at YogaDork recently posted this article about teenage athletes doing yoga with a football team as part of their pre-season conditioning.

So all you coaches out there give it a try. And if you are thinking that you simply need more time to learn one more drill, or practise one more play, know that the time you spend on the mat will pay off huge dividends in body awareness, attitude, team building, strength, and flexibility.

If you need more information on how to get your team practising yoga drop me a comment and I’ll be happy to give you some suggestions. Namaste.
