LeBron Does Yoga

CLEVELAND — Over the last year, hotel guests in various NBA cities have likely been a little jolted to see the Cavaliers’ LeBron James out by the pool in the mornings. Not so much because he’s a celebrity, but because he just might be standing on his head.
When James first came into the NBA at the age of 18 he didn’t even tape his ankles, sometimes ate McDonald’s an hour before tipoff and his main use for ice was cooling beverages.

As he’s matured, part out of necessity and part out of pride, he’s serious about preparing and maintaining his body for the rigors of an NBA season. That includes a wide range of measures from diet and recovery techniques to the Vajrasana, Virasana and the particularly stunning Salamba Sarvangasana. – www.cleveland.com
