Whether you choose to add 10 minutes or 1 hour of yoga a day to your practice, you will get the benefits! Yoga helps to increase a persons mental focus and concentration. For a gymnast, this can be most helpful during the heavy heated competition pressure, or while in practice preparing routines, or learning new skills.

The stretches in asanas (yoga postures/poses), combined with the rhythmic breathing in yoga practice, make for a much more lubricating effect on the joints and muscles in an athletes body. Rather than the static, sometimes rough stretching in usual gymnastics warm-up or cool-down, a gymnasts joints and body will move more smoothly with a yogic accompiniment. Not only flexibility of the muscles and joints will be increased, but flexibility of the mind will take place.

Body and mind integration is the key to yoga, and when incorporated into a gymnasts practice will also help to keep the importance of present moment awareness. So during competition they will feel fully focused and confident!
