Yoga

What can benefit you mind and body at the same better than yoga? When you think of someone doing yoga you probably think of a skinny person, a young person, a white person, a female, or perhaps a vegetarian, but those are not the only people that do yoga. Yoga is for everyone! Yes, African Americans, people of bigger built, older people, males, and us meat-eaters as well. As an athlete I am interested in the great benefits. Yoga increases your flexibility, builds core strength, and helps you balance. There are a lot of athletes and even sports programs that practice yoga regularly. http://www.stack.com/2012/09/17/yoga-athletes/ .

It is proven to increase you serotonin levels therefore making you happier and decreasing depression. Here are more benefits of yoga http://www.yogajournal.com/health/163 .
