Is ice bath recovery after yoga beneficial or not?

[Rebeccad12]

Is ice bath recovery after yoga a beneficial practice, as I've recently incorporated it into my routine? I've purchased an ice bath tub, and while I've read that it can be good for health, I'm uncertain about its overall impact. Could you please provide guidance on whether ice bath recovery is advisable after practicing yoga?

There's a good podcast on this. Search for 'BBC Sliced Bread-Ice Baths'. They talk about the hype around ice baths and how they can be dangerous.

Ice baths or cold exposure is fantastic for you anytime, soooo many benefits it’s unreal!
It’s easily one of the best health things I’ve ever incorporated for minimum effort and time with maximum results.
It’s super healing and great for losing weight!

What sort of yoga are you doing that necessitates an ice bath afterwards? Keanu Reeves uses an ice bath during filming but I’ve never seen John Wick do yoga.
