Benefits of Yoga for an Athlete/Crossfitter


Yoga has many health benefits for your cardiovascular system

~The gentler forms of yoga lower your blood pressure because the yoga poses keep blood flowing evenly throughout your body while you focus on your breathing.
~Energy* Regular yoga practice provides consistent energy.
~Power yoga is an excellent form of cardio conditioning, which strengthens core muscles while it keeps blood and oxygen circulating throughout your body.
~Body Awareness* Doing yoga will give you an increased awareness of your own body.
~Core strength* With a strong body core, you receive better posture and overall body strength. A strong core helps heal and reduce injuries. This is why a lot of athletes do yoga.
