Boxing, yoga … What can possibly have in common? Well, first of all the passion. Passion for something that is good for the body and spirit. In addition, the strength is undoubtedly a key element in both these disciplines: internal strength and external force.

If in boxing the force manifests itself in a gesture, stroke, in yoga shows itself in the maintenance of a position (and some are really uncomfortable!) long. But the force is also Interior, is the will, the desire to succeed in a location or in a match to win half a centimeter at a time. Whether it’s a lengthening in Paschimottanasana or ring in front of an opponent.
