The article shows the effect of yoga therapy on improving the functional state of an athlete's body in any sport based on a pedagogical experiment in which athletes of the Kyukushin karate children's and youth sports school took part. For the experiment, 2 groups were allocated: experimental and control, which included 5 people each, whose training programs differed in approaches, ratios of training loads and their distribution at training stages. The effectiveness of the experiment was evaluated according to criteria and indicators that take into account attitudes and awareness of the importance of yoga classes, as well as real achievements in the development of flexibility and balance. It has been revealed that yoga therapy plays a significant role in achieving an increase in sports results, allowing more attention to be paid to the development of the leading functions of the body, taking into account the individual characteristics of each individual athlete.
