In Episode 05 of the HockeyTraining.com Podcast Coach Dan takes a look at Yoga and explains what benefits it has for hockey players. More and more NHL players are incorporating yoga into their off-season programming, so we figured it would be a good idea to take a look at why many high-level hockey trainers are prescribing yoga sessions for their players. We've also released our own Hockey Yoga follow along videos for hockey players who want to do incorporate yoga into their training.  You can access the program here: https://www.hockeytraining.com/yoga-program If you enjoyed this HockeY Training Podcast episode make sure you subscribe so you don't miss out on future episodes, and leave us a rating or review!

He also touches on why kids should be playing other sports along with hockey in order to become better hockey athletes.
