5 WWE Superstars who benefited greatly from DDP Yoga

#3 Shawn Michaels (Joined DDP Yoga in 2012)

The first pro-wrestler to try DDP Yoga was The Heartbreak Kid back in 2012, post his retirement from in-ring action. Though Michaels has a long history of back injuries, including one that kept him away from the business from 1998-2002, he returned for a second run, which turned out arguably better than the first one.

However, it also gave way to some serious health repercussions that became visible once he officially retired from the business in 2010.

The former four-time WWE Champion yet again started suffering from back problems and decided to give DDP Yoga a shot after getting done with his most recent back surgery. DDP opened up about Michaels joining him for the program in an interview in 2012.

"HBK--Shawn Michaels -- was the first guy to ever do DDP Yoga when he came back from that last back surgery. He told (Chris) Jericho about it when (Jericho) herniated his L-4, which is the lower part of your back. It's the center of the universe. He was done."

It is safe to assume that if not for DDP Yoga, we would have never been able to see Michaels step into the ring again, as he did in 2018 at WWE Crown Jewel.
