Why did Gala Academy introduce yoga into badminton training?
It started during coaching sessions.
As coaches, we were teaching lunges, balance, body rotation, posture, and movement control. We expected players to stand on one leg, stay balanced while hitting, keep their chest upright, and move with control around the court.
But very quickly, we noticed something important.
Many children — and adults too - struggled with these simple foundation skills:
• Balance
• Core control
• Breathing properly
• Body awareness
• Stability during movement
We realised badminton technique alone was not enough. Before players can move well on court, they first need to understand how to control their bodies.
That’s where yoga came in.
Yoga helps players develop core strength, balance, flexibility, breathing control, and focus — all essential skills for badminton performance and injury prevention.
At Gala Academy, we are redefining badminton training by combining technical coaching with movement education, helping players build a stronger body, calmer mind, and more confident game.
