The British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) and British Taekwondo have announced a collaboration to pilot a new health and fitness product for young people aged 13 and above. The product, which is part of Sport England’s ‘Uniting the Movement’ strategy, combines yoga and Taekwondo to enhance the mental and physical wellbeing of younger people in Britain.
The product, currently being piloted in ten British Taekwondo-affiliated member clubs, combines controlled breathing, meditation techniques and sport-specific yoga sequences with high-intensity Taekwondo. This holistic approach to fitness, mindfulness, and self-development aims to inspire more young people to take part in physical activities for improved health and wellbeing.
Di O’Reilly, BWY Chair, commented: “By joining forces with British Taekwondo, we seek to empower younger adults to embrace an active and healthy lifestyle. Together, we can provide more accessible avenues for younger people to experience yoga’s powerful wellbeing benefits.”
Ian Leafe, Chief Executive Officer of British Taekwondo, added: “British Taekwondo are thrilled to be collaborating with the British Wheel of Yoga. The aim of our new Taekwondo Health & Fitness programme is to provide a unique and different offering to clubs and communities and is a product we feel extremely excited about.”
