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

Interesting thread.
I too find yoga helps with both the mental and physical aspects of swimming and running. One of the major problems I had when I first started swimming was getting absolutely exhausted quickly in even the shortest sets.
I was trying to mimic the rest periods that the experienced swimmers were using and noted in one of the TI books by McLaughlin that using "yoga breathing" during rest and resuming only when you were back to controlled, comfortable breathing (through the nose) was one way to guage a rest interval more appropriate for you.
I did that, and sometimes still do, and have progressed far enough along to keep up in the slow lane sets most of the time.
Just one way yoga techniques can be applied to swimming.
