Dontari Poe, all 346 pounds of him, tackles yoga along with some Chiefs teammates

Yoga has helped the Chiefs defensive tackle become more fit

Poe missed training camp last year with a back injury

Teammates Marcus Peters and Jeremy Maclin have also mastered a few yoga poses

Imagine 6-foot-3, 346-pound defensive tackle Dontari Poe standing on his right foot, hunched over at the waist with his torso parallel to the ground, left leg extended directly behind him, arms extended forward.

He feels confidence in his balance, eyes closed.

Yoga practitioners will recognize the warrior three pose that combines balance and strength. Yoga instructors will introduce the position as Virabhadrasana III.
