According to the staff of TMZ, the former linebacker has used yoga to "reclaim his life" after being paralyzed making a routine tackle back in 2003.
Keith was speaking at the Wanderlust Festival in Hawaii when he admitted that yoga is the reason he is able to lead a normal lifestyle after the harrowing incident, which he described to TMZ: "I had no movement in my extremities and a spine that had been traumatized."
The former New Orleans Saints, Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguar star was the subject of a six-minute mini-documentary by NFL Films entitled "Yoga and Football" released back in October of 2013. The doc highlighted Mitchell's transition from a gridiron star to a yoga fanatic, prompted by the former Pro Bowler's scary injury.
As per the documentary, Mitchell's doctor recommended yoga and meditation to help recover from the temporary paralysis, focusing on increasing his flexibility, mobility and joint health. He became a yoga instructor after retiring from the league and says he "sees life on a whole different spectrum" now.
