TRANSITIONING from 55 kgs to 59 kgs was not at all easy for world and Olympic champion Hidilyn Diaz-Naranjo as she only had barely two years to make herself as strong, competitive and focused in her new division.“Yoga is very important for me because it’s mental,” Diaz-Naranjo told BusinesMirror on Tuesday. “It’s very hard to focus that’s why I need to be with myself and I need to believe in myself.
Team HD includes yoga instructor Ayn Latonio as Diaz-Naranjo wants to get rid of stress and negativity especially during competition. “I’m really happy that I didn’t give up during the process [weight transition] so I will do my very best to represent our country as I compete for the first time in 59 kgs,” Diaz-Naranjo said. “There are so many adjustments—from my food intake, training physical and mental and recovery—which I did.”
