Ratan Kumar DeshiMahesh M Pujari

Abstract

Around the world, yoga is a very trendy activity. Since its inception and widespread promotion, yoga has primarily been practiced in social groups and studios, frequently as a part of college elective courses. In middle schools, basic yoga teaching is typically nonexistent. The majority of lower extremities, including the hips, legs, and other connected lower extremities, are injured in hockey players. The purpose of this study is to look at the benefits that adding yoga poses to hockey players' training regimens may have. The study looks at the physiological and psychological advantages of yoga poses, their effects on balance, flexibility, and injury avoidance, as well as their potential effects on focus and mental toughness. The paper attempts to shed light on the holistic benefits that Yogasana may provide to improve the performance and well-being of hockey players using references to scientific studies and professional perspectives.
