Poker star Daniel Negreanu relaxes with breathing exercises for stress.
Gambling is not for the faint of heart. In addition to being a razor-sharp strategist, one has to have nerves of steel and a face that betrays not one thought. Even the coolest cucumber can need recharging every now and then, which may be why poker star Daniel Negreanu has turned to yoga's breathing exercises for stress.
Negreanu was feeling mentally and physically exhausted after a recent trip to Europe, as he wrote in CardPlayer.
"On the last leg of that trip, EPT San Remo, I played good for the first three hours or so, then just collapsed and had no interest/energy to continue," Negreanu wrote. "I was spent, and played terribly, hoping to either get lucky and double up, or catch the next flight home. I can't remember the last time I mailed in a tournament like that, but I just didn't have it."
While resting up, Negreanu has turned his attention to yoga and volunteer work with the Three Square kitchen in Las Vegas.
However, he still manages to enter small field events, such as last weekend's tournament at the Bellagio.
High-rollers aren't the only ones benefiting from Las Vegas yoga classes and similar courses. A survey published by the Yoga Journal found that about 15.8 million American adults practiced the mind-body regimen.
