Wrestling requires immense physical and
cardiovascular strength and stamina. Yoga eases pain and reduces injury
especially for wrestlers who often suffer from shoulder and knee injuries.
Increasing shoulder flexibility as well as lower back, hamstrings, chest, and
the cervical spine help reduce suffering and injury for wrestlers. Physically,
yoga also improves strength, balance, and flexibility.
Wrestling is all about
focusing on the moment and anticipating the next. Yoga impacts a wrestler’s
ability to focus on the present moment. In addition, yoga increases the ability
to focus and concentrate.
Wrestling on its own
cultivates and promotes humility, holding the head high at the end of wins and
losses. Yoga increases the wrestler’s ability to stay humble and encourages
“work ethic” by stressing the importance of practice and progress, not
perfection.
In my next blog I will provide a list of Yoga Poses beneficial for you all.
