He's Yoga Crazy, Yoga Mad...
Spain's Cesc Fabregas might be doing a warrior pose, but probably isn't.
The football world has now officially become converts of the ancient art of Yoga.
Tottenham Hotspurs football club in North London has been officially giving the players not only yoga lessons, but also pilates to help improve their performance on the pitch. With reports also surfacing about many Premiership players (Brad Friedel, Ryan Giggs, Martin Kelly, etc., ) having personal yoga instruction also.
Harry Redknapp even tried it himself saying "It's fantastic. We have been getting in to doing the yoga and I think pilates is just an amazing thing. When I started out as a manager, we didn't know what yoga was. You
didn't even go on the pitch before the game. It didn't happen when England won the World Cup at Wembley."
He also said, "If it's good enough for Brad (Friedel) with the shape he's in at 40, then it's
good enough for the rest of us. It's brilliant. It makes the players
more supple. Ryan Giggs is in to it, big time. It certainly has kept him in good shape."
With more and more people experiencing the benefits of yoga and pilates, if you want the chance to try it either at home or at work, or even on a weekend retreat contact me for details:
