7) Improved athletic performance

Yoga can help improve athletic performance by increasing flexibility, strength, and balance. Additionally, yoga can reduce the risk of injury by improving range of motion, muscular coordination, and proprioception (the awareness of your body in space). Finally, it can reduce fatigue and aid in faster recovery after physical activity.

8) Protection from injury

Yoga can help protect your body from injuries due to its emphasis on proper form and alignment. Strengthening muscles with yoga also helps to reduce risk of injury. Many poses, like Downward Dog and the Warrior poses, can improve muscle strength and flexibility, allowing you to move with ease and avoid strain. Regular practice of yoga can help you stay healthy and active for years to come.
