For centuries the practice of yoga has been used to develop physical, mental, and spiritual health. Sumalee Phuket has found that the benefits of yoga complement the Muay Thai training program perfectly.
Benefit of yoga
Yoga does more than burn calories and tone muscles. It is a total mind-body workout that combines strengthening and stretching poses with deep breathing or relaxation. The benefits include:
- Cardio and circulatory health
- Improved athletic performance
- Improved respiration, energy, and vitality
- Increased flexibility
- Increased muscle strength and tone
- Maintaining a balanced metabolism
- Protection from injury
- Weight reduction
