The tenets under which yoga is based may be applied to the present day and can be invaluable to
competitive hockey players. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBI’s) are more readily used
than ever in sports; those who are searching for avenues to uplevel their performance, promote
mental health/reduce burnout and set themselves apart from their competition come to yoga as
a means to pursue those goals. Athletic trainers are on the forefront in terms of healthcare
advocacy for athletes and along with traditional sports medicine concepts, AT’s can look to
incorporate holistic techniques such as meditation, intentional breathing and movement
sequencing for rehabilitation and active recovery. Research suggests that athletes who practice
yoga make healthier food choices, experience less pain during training, and adopt mindful
decision-making processes.
