Many athletes neglect the necessity of improving flexibility in favour of more "active" activities such as cardio and weight training. Flexibility, on the other hand, is a crucial aspect of a well-rounded sports regimen since it keeps the body fluid, limber, and toned.
The pattern of flexion and extension at the hip joint is known as hip hinge movement. Proper hip hinge mobility reduces the risk of athletic injury by reducing stress on the joint, which is especially important for runners, hikers, cross-fitters, and persons who enjoy kettle bell workouts. Yoga helps to strengthen and loosen the hip joints while also fostering good hip hinge mobility that transfers over into many activities since it focuses such a strong emphasis on knee, ankle, hip, and sacrum alignment during static poses.
Let's face it: some exercises aren't very effective at releasing our muscles. Yoga, on the other hand, places a strong emphasis on doing exactly that. Poses held for numerous breath cycles help to establish a deep connection with the muscle tissue, allowing it to relax and stretch. After only eight weeks of daily yoga practise, many people see a 35 percent gain in flexibility.
Don't be fooled into thinking that yoga is a passive activity. Each pose is designed to target a certain muscle region, and even the most basic poses, such as upward facing dog, can assist tone upper and lower body muscles.
