Did you know that the military in India are using yoga to reduce stress in soldiers.
I read it on a blog.
What do you think about it?
Strange as yoga is non violent.

What is so srange about that, I deemed Yoga to be good for anybody, isn’t it?
Several of my students are active duty military (male and female). They tell me that the class helps them in all aspects of their lives, personally and professionally. Exercise is a requirement and all must pass regular physical fitness tests. All of my students talk about how yoga helps. I’m happy to serve those that serve.

Besides, if more people in the world’s militaries took up yoga and were more likely to put down their weapons, something good may come about.
Soldiers don’t make war, politicians do. And tyrants. Soldiers just die in them, and those that live, live with the memories. I ask people who question my participation within the military world, “What would you die for? Would you stand up and fight if someone took away your right to say… practice yoga, to worship the way you choose, if someone forced you to worship in a way you don’t believe? Would you fight if your children and grandchildren were threatened?” It might not be very yogic, but, I would. But then… yoga on capital hill is an excellent idea!
Peace,
