Abstract:
A history of yoga is more than just becoming stronger and more flexible. In many religions the world yoga means spiritual discipline. Yoga has been practiced for around 500 years. Several schools and organizations of yoga have emerged over time. If you are a competitive athlete, it is best to tailor your yoga practice to your training schedule because particular sport can develop certain muscle groups while ignoring others. Yoga helps the muscles, tendons and teguments move through a full range of motion, thus cultivating balance and core strength which is a huge benefit to athletes un their chosen sports. The mind- body connection in yoga is essential to helping sports people’s developmental activity and concentration. In addition, yoga helps you to relax not just tight muscles, but also anxious and overstressed minds.
