The German football team continues to explore innovative things to help raise their level of play, this time by doing yoga with the help of German-American yogi Patrick Broome.
"We have had the yoga among our players before the start of the 2006 Fifa World Cup, and it is meant to help our players relax and keep their focus because that is what yoga is supposed to do," added the team official.
Coach Joachim Loew too vouched for this ancient practice associated with meditative practices in Buddhism and Hinduism in India. "We have sessions only in the mornings and players are free to attend. Most of them enjoy being there. It's a great idea as I am sure it helps our players," Loew said.
