Today I had the opportunity to talk with Jason Papalio of Stamford Connecticut, who is an Athletic Recovery Specialist. He has a unique way of using Yoga and Mindfulness to help his athletes stay injury free. I got a chance to pick his brain and talk about Athletes, Injuries, and Mindset. This is just a short interview before our podcast that will be coming soon. FLO: Can you share with everyone what it is that you do? Jason: Work with sports teams that range from high school to professional teams. I help to teach them movement through yoga as well as mindfulness and breathing techniques. FLO: What’s your philosophy on training and how does it help with MMA Jason: Most injuries happen because of a lack of range of motion. The mobility gained during the Yoga training can help the athletes to move better, which will improve athletic performance. The mindfulness training can help MMA fighters stay aware during a fight so that they do not over exert themselves
