The article is focused on the applications of yoga techniques according to the scientific master system, authored by Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda, offering health and harmony of Body, Mind and Soul, and which is globally popular. The “System Yoga in Daily Life ©” is based on the traditional Indian concept of Yoga Vedanta and develops the human health potential systematically from simple exercise units to the most demanding training techniques. The system is unique that it contains methodically developed yoga techniques for athletes. Yoga is useful both for elite athletes and hobby athletes. Especially the hobby athletes often train without a professional supervision of trainers, what may cause health problems due to unreasonable, often sudden training or competition loads. The presented applications of the “System Yoga in Daily Life ©” concern four areas: "Compensatory physical exercises", "Breath exercises", "Mental training" and "Diet" of athletes with modifications according to age and sports level.
