Poor flexibility hinders you, prevents you from getting the most out of your training, and puts you in danger of aches and injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most apparent benefit of yoga is that it boosts your ability to move freely and assume various poses without feeling any aches. Regularly practicing yoga will improve your flexibility and allow you to learn the different wrestling techniques more easily. It will also give you an edge over less flexible opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Ezoic - Blog Post Place 2 - long_content -->\n<div id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-186\"> <\/div>\n<!-- End Ezoic - Blog Post Place 2 - long_content -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. It Reduces Your Risk of Injuries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One direct benefit of superior flexibility is the lower risk of injury. As discussed above, flexibility is about moving your body freely through different ranges of motion. This keeps your joints healthy because it prevents undue stress. It also helps keep your muscles safe because you\u2019re not stretching them past their natural ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These benefits are vital for wrestling because the sport involves a lot of intensity, many awkward positions, and a constant struggle for dominance over your opponent. If they put you in an awkward position and you don\u2019t have the flexibility for it, you can get injured and spend weeks, even months recovering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yoga is also great for building whole-body strength and balance, which can help you overcome opponents, engage the right muscles, and avoid putting yourself in a compromised position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Ezoic - Blog Post Place 3 - longer_content -->\n<div id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-187\"> <\/div>\n<!-- End Ezoic - Blog Post Place 3 - longer_content -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.

As you can imagine, this is a valuable attribute for wrestling because you often have to overcome awkward positions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coordination is also vital for the same reason:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It allows us to use different parts of the body smoothly and at the same time. This is vital because many techniques require full-body engagement, so you need to be good at using your upper and lower body simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yoga is excellent for both of these characteristics precisely because mastering various yoga poses is challenging and requires tremendous balance and coordination to pull off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yogajournal.com\/poses\/four-limbed-staff-pose\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chaturanga Dandasana<\/a> (The Four-limbed Staff Pose). Pulling this pose off requires excellent balance and coordination between several large muscle groups in your body &#8211; the core, chest, upper back, legs, triceps, and shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Ezoic - Blog Post Place 4 - longest_content -->\n<div id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-188\"> <\/div>\n<!-- End Ezoic - Blog Post Place 4 - longest_content -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. It Improves Your Mental Health and Melts Stress<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While deeply fulfilling, wrestling can also be challenging, especially when you\u2019ve worked hard but can\u2019t seem to win your tournament. It can feel disheartening, stressful, and frustrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is, yoga can serve as an anchor and help you push through difficult times. Study after study concludes that yoga is incredible for our mental health and is one of the best activities we can perform regularly to melt stress and ground ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you\u2019re feeling overwhelmed or stressed out, try yoga for a few weeks and see how it impacts your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Ezoic - Blof Post Place 5 - incontent_5 -->\n<div id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-189\"> <\/div>\n<!-- End Ezoic - Blof Post Place 5 - incontent_5 -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.

I\u2019ve always admired those who can maintain level-headedness under stress because this is difficult to do. It pays big-time because it helps us think, avoid rash decisions, and make the right choices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This skill is even more critical for wrestling because you will often find yourself in challenging situations where calmness plays a considerable role in your ability to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The great news is, yoga is fantastic precisely because it teaches calmness, deep breathing, and how to remain present at all times. This is incredibly beneficial for learning how to be less reactive and find better ways to get out of challenging situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Ezoic - Blog Place 6 - incontent_6 -->\n<div id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-190\"> <\/div>\n<!-- End Ezoic - Blog Place 6 - incontent_6 -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. It Improves Your Breathing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A vast and overlooked aspect of effective training is breathing. Oxygen is vital for energy production, and if we can\u2019t get enough of it through breathing, we limit our ability to remain energized and do more work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, research finds that regular yoga practice improves lung capacity, VO2 max, and self-reported breathing ability in young and older people. This alone can be incredibly beneficial for your wrestling performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, deep breathing is also beneficial for remaining calm in stressful situations, which itself is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-083e1cd1\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-6133b5d5\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-d5d600fe\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-d5d600fe\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"looking-for-a-new-bjj-gi\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Looking For A New BJJ GI?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">Sanabul is one of the fastest-growing MMA equipment brands.
