Yoga can teach runners pain management techniques.
Running and jogging enthusiasts are well aware that performing these exercises well requires more than just the right shoes and outfit. They also require real endurance and stamina. But how many runners know that breath awareness and pain management techniques can also help them? Or that yoga can provide these benefits, and then some?
"After yoga I was more aware of my desire to pant like a dog when I ran up hills. (And in case you've never done this, it is a sure-fire way to cause a side ache and make yourself light-headed)," wrote Amy Donaldson in the Deseret News.
Athletes may appreciate that yoga can teach them how to be more aware of their breathing while they participate in other sports, according to Donaldson. Furthermore, Las Vegas yoga classes can help alleviate pain in the neck, hips and other areas.
When it comes to running, yoga poses can also improve one's balance and flexibility, according to the news source.
As of 2007, more than 13 million American adults, reported practicing yoga within the previous year, according to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a division of the National Institutes of Health. That represents an increase by 3 million people since 2002.
