Yoga For Tough Guys: BoxingYoga Is Coming To Manchester
| 5th May 2015
The latest fitness phenomenon BoxingYoga™ is coming to Manchester.
Originating from a boxing club, BoxingYoga™ is a fusion of the discipline of fitness with the mind set of yoga. It’s initially yoga-based training designed for fighters but it definitely has the potential to reach all of the mainstream gyms. BoxingYoga™ not only improves physical strength and flexibility but it can also prevent injury and maximise overall performance in sport.
Scott Quigg, World Super Bantamweight Boxing Champion recommends BoxingYoga™ he says ‘BoxingYoga™ is a very sport-specific to what I do, and I am definitely going to implement into my training, as it’s going to help me improve in every department. A lot of fighters don’t know how to stretch properly. BoxingYoga™ has everything they need. BoxingYoga™ keeps you young and it keeps you fresh and keeps your body more athletic for a longer period of time, so you can do what you love for longer.’
Matt Mead, Head of Education at Chelsea Football Club Foundation also comments by saying that BoxingYoga™ is ‘Yoga for tough guys. How a yoga regime devised for boxers became a fitness phenomenon. The discipline abandons many of yoga’s more traditional conventions and focuses on more streamlined activity, directly targeting improved sporting performance.’
If you are interested in BoxingYoga™, whether it be participating in a free class or learning about the teaching training course, come along to the three day OM Yoga show at Event City this May.
