Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a complex martial art with many physical and mental demands. We constantly look for ways to improve our game using other training methods and practices. One of the most popular exercises for BJJ outside of strength training is yoga.

It improves flexibility, balance, and agility, increasing body awareness and breath control. Done correctly, it can improve many aspects of your BJJ and life without interfering with other forms of training.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Still, if you spend your precious time doing yoga, it’s worth knowing in detail what benefits you can expect and the best way to achieve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yoga and BJJ are a great match, and the two practices share a lot.

Physically, they also share many things, like the flowing movement patterns and the need for a specific breathing pattern for best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what is yoga? Yoga is a broad term that includes many practices, including physical postures called asanas, breathing exercises called pranayama, and combining both flows and meditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The benefits of a proper yoga practice are immense.
