YOGA IS A KEY COMPONENT OF EVERY WORKOUT REGIMEN...
As an ex-athlete I can recall hearing coaches constantly preaching about the impact that stretching would have on my performance on the football field.  Unfortunately I did not listen and many injuries were incurred as the result of this.  There are studies coming out every day about the added benefits that stretching has on athletes.  Yoga has been around for years but it hasn’t been until recent years that elite athletes of all sports have begun to include this into their workout routine.  Let us know the impact that yoga has had for you?

Stretching is a key component to any workout, and especially important before or after a workout. Throughout my experience, I have seen that I am much more likely to suffer an injury if I do not stretch. I recently have started yoga classes and it has helped tremendously with my flexibility, but also with managing my stress levels. Has anyone else had success with utilizing yoga as a stress reliever?
