A disabled war veteran was disabled for 15 years until he discovered yoga
When American paratrooper Arthur Boorman returned home injured from the Gulf War, doctors told him he'd never walk unassisted again.
One too many jumps led to chronic back and knee problems making his military workout a thing of the past.
For 15 years, Boorman believed them. Consequently, his weight ballooned to 297 lbs.
But, at 47 years old, the disheartened veteran discovered yoga in a newspaper article about DDP yoga.
As demonstrated in this incredible YouTube video, the non-impact yoga workout helped Boorman shed 140 lbs in 10 months.
Yoga isn't just an excellent weight-loss therapy for troops returning home injured. According to CareForVets.org, yoga is also being used to help treat post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among war veterans who've served in Afghanistan and in Iraq.

Dave Helfert: Memorial Day: Honor the Fallen, Remember the Living
I find myself standing in what appears to be a
contradiction: I profess to be guided by ahimsa, and yet people I love,
as well as those served by our organization, are trained not just to
defend, but also to attack.
Our work is to go beyond the challenges that life has
set up for us. It's a matter of stepping up to the plate. Because we can
grow, or we can die. We can go big or go home. If we let life suck the
life out of us, we've already lost.
This Memorial Day, honor those who have fallen in
service to the nation. They have given the last full measure and they
surely deserve our respect and gratitude. But take just a minute to
honor those who fought in our wars and lived. For many, their battles
are far from over.
