• Strengthens deep connective tissue, preventing or minimizing injury
• Creates overall body flexibility and increases range of motion and mobility

• Improves circulation, massages internal organs and glands for optimum health
• The yoga breath circulates and detoxifies the lymph fluid to speed up recovery time from training 15% faster, eliminating fatigue
