| Abstract: | The article discusses the physical aspect of yoga and its benefits for athletes. It is important to remember that yoga focuses on the integration of body, mind and spirit and on the person as a whole being. The reasons that athletic trainers might want to consider yoga as a supplement to conventional treatment and rehabilitation methods include increased core stability, increased flexibility and range of motion, and increased relaxation. |
