Yoga for Wrestlers @lehighmenswrestling

Studies have shown that athletes can benefit by adding yoga to their training regimen. Our yoga program works on flexibility, balance, agility, endurance, core and overall strength-all tools that help prevent injury and aid in recovery.

Wrestling is a sport that involves strength, balance, flexibility, speed, positioning, footwork, mental focus and toughness, concentration, and endurance. It teaches confidence, discipline, humility, and respect. This is why wrestling is and can be a good complement to yoga.

Wrestling requires immense physical and cardiovascular strength and stamina. Yoga eases pain and reduces injury especially for wrestlers who often suffer from shoulder and knee injuries. Yoga for wrestlers builds lean muscles which helps build more strength with less weight.

Increasing shoulder flexibility as well as lower back, hamstrings, chest, and the cervical spine help reduce suffering and injury for wrestlers. Physically, yoga also improves strength, balance, and flexibility.

Wrestling is all about focusing on the moment and anticipating the next. Yoga impacts a wrestler’s ability to focus on the present moment. In addition, yoga increases the ability to focus and concentrate.

Yoga increases the wrestler’s ability to stay humble and encourages “work ethic” by stressing the importance of practice and progress, not perfection. #yogaforwrestlers #yogaforathletes #lehighwrestling #realmendoyoga

Great turnout for our final Green Day and weight room session of June! 💪

We were fortunate to hear from Liam Gil Swiger, Yorktown’s most recent state champion and current wrestler at Lehigh University, along with his father David Swiger, who helped build NOVA Wrestling Club into one of the premier programs in the area. Their insight, experience, and passion for the sport were invaluable to our athletes.

It was also great to have Yorktown alum Telmuun back in the room. Once a Yorktown wrestler, always a Yorktown wrestler. Seeing former Patriots return to invest in the next generation is what makes this program special.

The room was packed with wrestlers eager to learn, improve, and invest in their future. The offseason is where champions are built, and this group continues to put in the work brick by brick.

We’re excited about where this team is headed and can’t wait to get back on the mat in July!

The offseason is about more than just getting matches—it’s about learning from those who came before you.

Several Yorktown wrestlers gathered at Apple Academy this week to continue building their skills and had the opportunity to meet two Yorktown greats. The group got to spend time with our most recent state champion, Liam Gil Swiger, now wrestling at Lehigh University, and Yorktown alum Mustafa Hadi, who is currently competing at NIACC.

Our young wrestlers are following in the footsteps of those who helped build this program. The lessons, standards, and culture get passed down from one generation to the next.

Once a Yorktown wrestler, always a Yorktown wrestler. 💙

We had such a special night serving the incredible Lehigh University wrestlers!

There’s something really meaningful about getting to fuel a team that works so hard, shows so much discipline, and represents their school with such heart. We were truly honored to play a small part in your evening.

Thank you for choosing to spend time with us, it means more than you know. We’re cheering you on and wishing you continued strength and success! 💪
