We often hear complaints about yoga becoming "mainstream". But shouldn't we be joyful that more and more people are able to benefit from the practice? It's wonderful to watch as western culture embraces yoga as a healing tool. The National Journal wrote a story today about how our military is leveraging yoga to help troops deal with post-traumatic psychological issues.
From the Naitonal Journal:
For generations, the military has opted for a code of stoic silence in dealing with psychologically battered troops. Now it's exploring everything from talk therapy to yoga in an effort to better treat troops suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
