How Does Yoga Help Athletes? Yoga relieves muscle tension and loosens joints, hips, hamstrings and shoulders. Athletes who practice yoga gain greater ability to manage their breath — maximizing oxygen intake and lessening loss of energy during endurance training. Yoga helps athletes lower blood pressure, mitigate aches and pains, manage intensity and increase focus, preparing the bodys physical response to challenging situations, as in competitive sports. COMING SOON! I will be offering a new program geared towards athletes at LEAP Yoga life.gaiam/article/how-does-yoga-help-athletes
