Yoga for Swimmers: Improving Your Mental Skills

In a yoga practice you learn different breathing techniques (pranayama) that relax both the body and the mind.

Developing strong mental skills is an important aspect of achieving success in any sport. Even though this is an accepted fact many don’t take the time to focus on them. It is often because of time restraints and the lack of practical ways to do so.

People commonly see yoga as a series of physical skills that improve strength, mobility and body awareness. Yoga is also an incredible way to work on your mental skills while developing your physical abilities.
