NEW YORK (June 12, 2015) – The New York Cosmos announced today that the club has reached an agreement to partner with Power Yoga For Sports.

“I’m very excited to team up with the New York Cosmos and provide soccer specific yoga to their athletes,” said Jason Papalio, Certified Yoga Coach for Power Yoga For Sports. “The benefits of yoga for athletes are enormous. This will specifically help the athletes become more proactive instead of reactive, reducing injuries.”

As part of the agreement, Power Yoga For Sports will become the Official Yoga Coach of the New York Cosmos and Papalio will join the club’s technical staff as Yoga Coach.

Papalio comes to the Cosmos having worked with NCAA Division I college and university sports teams across the tri-state area over the years. His sports specific approach to yoga has many benefits for athletes, including making them less susceptible to injuries and helping them learn to move and react more quickly.

Power Yoga For Sports can help athletes perform at their highest levels, plus maintain longevity in their careers.

“It’s great to have more teams and athletes incorporating yoga into their training routines,” said Papalio. “It’s an honor and a privilege to work for this world class organization as their team Yoga Coach.”
