#YOGIPOV

What is “#YogiPOV”? Yogi Point of View (POV) is  a networking platform for all you guys to inter-connect with one another and gain a better insight into what other guys in the #ErosSport community are all about.

Here at Eros Sport we feel that the more we can bring everyone together and share more about each other’s practices and aesthetics, the more everyone’s point of view will be seen and heard.  Creating awareness between yogis, various types of athletes and men is an important goal and on-going effort for us.

This is a section of our blog dedicated to all you guys who are part of the #ErosSport community where you can learn about each other’s background and practice.  The #ErosSport community is inclusive of all types of sports, not just yoga.  It can be calisthenics, training, MMA, kickboxing or any other sports you practice.

The whole purpose of this is to create a platform where all our #ErosSport community can interact with each other and be able to see what each other is all about, hence the name #YogiPOV.

Dont’ forget to use the #YogiPOV on your photos so we can see what your practice is about.

Thank you all for being a part of Eros Sport!

Stretching Tips for People with Arthritis

Stretching is often overlooked but it is extremely important because it helps prevent injuries, improve flexibility and physical performance, and minimize soreness. Here are some tips for those who suffer from arthritis:

1. Warm up.
   Before stretching, you should always warm up your body. There are a couple of options for warm-ups such as hip circles, arm circles, arm swings, and heel-to-toe walk.
2. Hamstring and Ankle
   Now that your body's warmed up, it's time to start stretching! Sit on the edge of a chair with your knees bent and feet on the floor. Extend your right leg in front of you and flex your right toes to the ceiling. Next, slowly lean forward at the hips with your back straight. You should feel the stretch in the back of your thigh. Repeat with your left leg.
   
3. Calve Stretch
   Stand behind a chair with both hands on the back of the chair. Place your left leg behind you while keeping your left heel to the ground. Next, bend your right knee and lean in towards the chair. You should feel the stretch in your left calf. Repeat with your right leg.
4. Groin Stretch
   Stand behind a chair with both hands on the back of the chair. Place your feet shoulder-width apart. Face your left foot towards the chair and point you right foot to the right. Lunge towards your right foot but don't let your right knee go past your toes. Repeat with your left foot.
5. Leg Swings
   Stand behind a chair and place your left hand on the chair. Stand sideways so that your left hip is facing the back of the chair. Swing your right leg to the front and back. Repeat with your left leg.
6. Exercise!
   Now comes the fun part. When exercising, be mindful of your own body. Challenging yourself is important but know your limits. Do not put yourself too hard because this can cause injuries. Also make sure to hydrate. Have fun!
7. Stretch
   Finish up your exercise by stretching again!
