49ers' Brian Jennings stays balanced
ESPN story
Jennings, a 12-year NFL veteran, has already carved his path to a long, healthy career. It helps that he is a long-snapper, on the field maybe a dozen times a game, the position minimizing the number of punishing hits he has taken.
But he also owes his health and career longevity to what he calls a "wellness lifestyle" that includes the practice of yoga as a major component.
"The first time I did yoga, it just felt right to me," Jennings said.
Jennings' wellness lifestyle also include massages, chiropractic care, acupuncture, Chinese herbs, nutrition and supplements.
"I do a lot of things that are considered alternative," Jennings said. "It's probably unusual being in a self-destructive business."
