UNITED KINGDOM, March 27, 2012 (Guardian): Ryan Giggs, 38, is the most decorated player in English football history. He was appointed an OBE in the Queen’s 2007 Birthday Honours List and was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2005, for his services to English Football. His career is unusually long-lived, thanks in part to hatha yoga.
Ryan said that practicing yoga has kept him in the game for so long and added that he would still love to play another 100 games for Manchester United. The Welshman, who is chasing his 13th Premier League title, said that he has had to change the way he thinks on the pitch but that he is still “living the dream”. “The yoga has helped me train every day because it gives me the flexibility and the strength not only to play the game but to train as well,” he explained.
