Yoga’s Popularity with Athletes

“There’s two or three things it really helps to improve for athletes. The first is breathing, accessing the entire lung capacity. The more oxygen you have in the blood, the better your endurance, the better your recovery time, the more clear you are thinking,” Zorensky said. “In addition to breath, the elasticity you help train and the muscle tendon complex… That’s going to create a combination of strength and flexibility you’re not going to be able to achieve by just lifting a dumbbell.” Read more HERE

Firefighter Hotshot Fitness

“You're helping to train yourself to stand up straight, and you're taking pressure off your discs, and reducing pressure on the spine. For firefighters I think that's key--creating awareness and strength in the core and lower spine so that they can work hard throughout a shift and not be crippled with pain at the end of it. I also think the breathing techniques would be incredibly beneficial for firefighters, because obviously oxygen is an issue when you're fighting fires.” Read more HERE
