Yoga and Swimming Isnt this the biggest bulls**t ever?!? Its imposible to use the knowledge you get from Yoga in swimming because the BASICs of Yoga are on nose breathing I agree that both yoga and swimming share flexibility... but that doest have to do with anything cause the main problem is breath. I dont know how can people put these two together I almost drowned NUMEROUS times, and now i am completly starting to forget yoga just so i could learn how to swim right. feel free to comment please

    i dont think you understood my statement:) i also agree that other activities as weights, runing etc improve swimming. It is corect that what you said about deltoid muscles and sholder weakness and how it can be better with Yoga. While i was still doing Yoga regulary i had absplutely no problems with my shoulders ( back then my techique was not even born yet-- in opose to now when i feel my tecnique is improvin A LOT and i have stoped doing yoga) But m talking about YOGA not weights,runing etc. I LOVE/d Yoga but i m saying it is not posible to join these two together beacuse you cant do Yoga regulary ( and it has no point in doin it onesa month) and swimm OK because it oposite in BASICS. Youre out of water 80% of the day( aproximatly, dont get mad:D ) and swimming the other 20% you cant use the breath control that Yoga teach you in swimming( you can exale through the nose but Yoga teaches "leting go" and free flow of air and in the pool the water rushes to your brain if you dont have the constant pressure that you control by throat I also think that Yoga is very good thing in life i m just pointing out my thoughts on the subject that i havent seen anyone else start
