Benefits of Yoga for Sport and Fitness |
|
|
- Yoga helps to prevent injuries by increasing flexibility and strengthening muscles.
- Yoga can help to improve concentration, footwork, strength, and endurance.
- Yoga helps release stress in the body and mind so the body has more freedom to perform at its best with the least amount of pain.
- Yoga exercises can bring greater flexibility to the spine and joints and help improve balance.
- Yoga is a great low-impact way to cross train. Cross training is necessary for athletes who do the same sport or exercise routine year round.

Whether you are into golf, running or team-related sports, you can be assured that yoga will help improve your overall state of being as well as your athletic performance. For holistic health, bring balance to your nutrition game plan with all-natural SoLo bars. |

|
Usage Instructions: |
|
|
|
SoLo-staffer Carla Poirier practices yoga regularly and recommends taking 1 SoLo bar about 1 hour prior to practice. “The bars are easy on the digestive system so by the time I begin my practice, I will have started to receive the energy from the bar but won’t be hindered by any gastrointestinal distress, as I have experienced with so many other bars. It keeps me energized throughout my entire practice”. |
|
|
|
SoLo’s balanced nutritional profile delivers the energy at a slow and steady rate so you optimize the energy being delivered throughout your practice. They are especially useful to take before a morning practice as it can be difficult to find something small enough to avoid abdominal discomfort but large enough to give you the energy required for your practice. As always, remember to take adequate water with SoLo (200-400 mL per bar) to ensure proper absorption of nutrients and for proper digestion. |
