Inside Yoga 70 (8/3/13)

Here is an inspiring story: it is about Arthur, a veteran US paratrooper who fought in the Gulf War. He says that he sustained a series of injuries as a result of numerous air jumps as a paratrooper. Doctors told him that he would never walk again without the assistance of crutches and braces – so he gave up and put on a lot of weight.

But then, years later, by chance he came across a yoga teacher, Diamond Dallas Page – the former professional wrestler and now a yoga teacher among other things.  The rest is history as they say and this is the inspiring part: over the course of months Arthur changed his life – and he continues to change his life.

To see his story, there is a video on You Tube called “Never, Ever Give Up. Arthur’s Inspirational Transformation!”. I have watched it a few times and every time I am touched by this man’s story; it is an inspiring story that reminds us not to give up!
