That's right - Diamond Dallas Page. D.D.P. used to be a professional wrestler, apparently he teaches Yoga for Regular Guys at Equinox in Santa Monica, California and he has put out several DVDs in the past year. He's just one of many other former athletes that after putting in the time for either themselves or for a team they've decided to continue and teach what they love to the public. DDP teaches Yoga while someone you might know by the name of Wade Davis, who used to be a defensive back for the Washington Redskins who teaches the proper way to exercise and is also a personal trainer in New York. Most people would rather have a trainer who they know has a background in athletic performances rather than someone that learned from some facility. It gives them an added sense of acceptance working with a celebrity of sorts instead of a total stranger. There's a guy that felt so good about the program that when he has a get together with his friends he brags that he knows Kerry Taylor of the New England Patriots and that he works with personally.

Diamond Dallas!
I guess I came across this blog looking for information on different Yoga programs. Right now I'm thinking about getting into a program at Comfort Zone Yoga Center which seems to have some really cool Yoga and breathing techniques geared more towards athletes who need all the endurance they can get. I'm a mountain climbing fanatic! Any advice on this or recommendations about some other program??

Any Yoga Program you get into is a great way to enhance your training routine. It can only add flexibility, core strength and mental focus. There's nothing more rewarding then a state of Zen doing yoga!
