Bengals enjoy yoga

Monday, April 19, 2004

A weekly yoga class is a new and mandatory part of the Bengals' three-month off-season strength and conditioning program that started March 22. And even once-skeptical 300-pound men who make their living in a violent sport are seeing the benefits of this peaceful undertaking.

The Bengals are just one of a handful of NFL teams offering yoga to their players. John Thornton did it two years ago when he played for the Tennessee Titans.

But for most of the other Bengals players, yoga - a discipline whose exercises aim for control of body and mind - is a new experience. They like it. And if they don't, they're not saying.

"It's a testosterone-laced, westernized version tailored to American football players," is how Bengals strength coach Chip Morton describes the class.
