I am a Viet Nam Veteran that served with the 4th Infantry Division as a Combat Medic. In 2013 I began counseling at The VA clinic for symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder such as anxiety, depression and nightmares. I was also given medication prescribed by a VA psychiatrist. The counseling helped some but the medication made things worse. I then learned about yoga classes sponsored by Meghan’s Foundation. So I began taking yoga classes to help with my PTSD. From these yoga classes I have learned how to slow down and relax. My goal is to find peace of mind and remain in the moment. I think yoga leads me in this direction. Yoga works better than medication.
