I always wondered why more sports teams don't implement more yoga into their regimen. Maybe they do and it's not publicized but one would think it would pay some dividends.

Yoga is/was offered on recovery days, Saints mentioned specifically. Now whether the players participate can be a different story. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...tice/37513937/ |
