It can't hurt! Flexibility is important in any sport and I would think especially tennis. And if your over 40 *cough*like-me* you realize recovery from playing is very important. I hate walking off the court feeling like I'm 90 years old---for realz. So, with that in mind, I subscribe to Women's Health Yoga Channel for their newsletter. It is a great newsletter for yoga poses, typically with themes n such.
But specifically to tennis I found this article on the Tennis Channel by Anastasia Dorohova who not only is a tennis player but also a certified yoga teacher---she must be one kick-ass gurl tennis player!
She states that yoga can help your tennis game in the following ways:
- Flexibility
- Power
- Balance
- Injury Prevention
- Mind Control
>>> Tennis Channel : Yoga 4 Tennis
My fav is the mind control bit. I'm finding more and more that tennis becomes more of a mind sport that athletic sport.
She also has some books on yoga and one specifically for yoga & tennis. You can check it out below...
So tennis womenz---get your TEN-OGA....on...get it
tennis + yoga = TEN-OGA? *sigh*i thought it was funny. o_0*
