 Yoga is a spiritual, physical, and mental practice that is believed to have been started by an Indian sage named Patanjali over 2,000 years ago.  It is believed that he wrote the Yoga Sutra, which is a collection of 195 philosophical statements that act as a guidebook for the yoga that is currently practiced.“Today most people practicing yoga are engaged in the third limb, asana, which is a program of physical postures designed to purify the body and provide the physical strength and stamina required for long periods of meditation.” states yogajournal.com.

Through the practice of yoga, an individual can improve balance and coordination.  This improvement can further develop muscle awareness helping to improve an athlete’s technique and form.Many yoga positions require wide stances, single leg balances, arm stands, and other poses that require centering one’s self and maintaining control over their bodies while holding these positions for any length of time.  This directly benefits many gymnastics skills especially those performed on balance beam. “Every day, we use at least a few hip openers and balancing postures throughout warm up.  For beam, particularly we use some balancing and breathing techniques.” states Tomlinson.
