Why Do Footballers Do Yoga? 🧘‍♂️

Firstly to help with their flexibility and core strength on the pitch, yoga improves range of motion and mobility, by stretching and strengthening muscles which are constantly in use during football.

Secondly for injury prevention and recovery. A footballer's muscles will naturally often fatigue with the amount of training and games they play, yoga promotes blood circulation and reduces muscle tension and swelling, which helps them recover faster and avoid injury in games or training sessions to come.

And lastly for mental strength and coordination. Yoga combines physical composure and balance with mindfulness technique, which then increases mental clarity on the pitch while maintaining stability in challenging movements.
