Yoga for Basketball Players | Great for All Athletes | Balance, Breath Control, Mobility, Power, Etc

Hey, ya'll! Today's video is YOGA FOR BASKETBALL PLAYERS (AND ATHLETES)! I haven't done a sports yoga video in a while & I definitely want to do more of them. This video is inspired by a friend of mine who is a great coach & skilled player himself (   / _designated_dad   ). We often work together to help create specialized yoga sequences, not only for him, but for his clientele. This sequence focuses on core work, breath control, focus/balance, stretching, & lengthening. I believe these are all necessities for someone who wants to have a successful career in basketball. Practicing yoga regularly can even reduce your risk of injury (research Kareem Abdul Jabbar & his dedication to yoga over his 20 year NBA career). I hope this video can be a necessity to you & your game. Make sure you take your time & modify as needed. Yoga is meant to be a challenge but not so much so that we're putting ourselves at risk for injury while practicing. If you have any questions about yoga, leave them down below & I'll answer them.
