Nice article but I can't believe how it makes it sound like some new age thing, and that most of the dubs hadn't done yoga till this year. I've been doing it on and off for 6 years, havn't got into it as much as i'd like to as I think it's really good of you get the right teacher, but I know the Armagh team were doing it regular 3 years ago, and probably even before.

Sure it's 10 years now since ruud van nistelroy, keano and giggs started raving about the benefits of it ( middle of gigs career was hampered by hamstrings).

Anyone else here try it much?

I have.  Always liked Yoplait and Spelga but this new stuff like Muller-Light is a bit too fancy-dan IMO!

It seemed like an extended advert for NADA and this yoga person.
Sure I was doing yoga with the club 10 years ago.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Started Bikram last year..seriously tough and definitely good for flexibility..gets a bit monotonous after a while though doing the same moves every time. Also, not easy trying to contain myself in a class with lots of birds looking like this...

He kept changing his (sports)car every couple of moths which was a major part of the problem apparently.

He also suffered from the 'too much bed, not enough sleep' syndrome as we also found out later..

Bingo

Much prefer Pilates myself.

Either of them though would take time to get it right and reep the benefits.

Can see hundreds of club managers adding Yoga to their preseason training plans as we speak.

Aye, what's going to happen when every team does yoga?...every match will end in a draw if it makes a team unbeatable..

Likely be that teams will do 4/5 sessions of Yoga preseason and tick the box.

However if a team had Yoda, its very likely they would be unbeatable.

Some of them will probably add yoghurt by mistake.

It's a joke. How does that stuff get in the paper? I've been sending articles about the real reasons behind Dublins success for years, not one of the papers have printed them. I wouldn't be surprised if the Dubs have all the journos on the payroll.
