heroism that I have witnessed go beyond the imagination where most people only see them on movie screens.
So how does this fit with being a Connected Warrior? Yoga is hard; in fact I have been told it is a journey to finding your own position, your own breath, and your own peace. As a 54-year old married with two grandchildren I have to rethink what life is and what is my purpose in this life. Being around great men and women who gave it all and leaving the company of heroes has been difficult for me. I don’t have my brothers with me anymore. There are no missions to plan. There are no dark nights to fight in. And I miss it. But now I want to focus on how I can stay as healthy (physically, mentally, and spiritually) as I possibly can for this next phase of my life so I can honor my wife and children, to be in their lives and make great memories that will hopefully be passed down for generations to come.
Yoga physically is challenging. I have been sitting in a helicopter cockpit for over three decades and it has punished my body by not being able to have full range of motion. I have lumbar stenosis and Yoga is helping to rehabilitate me so I can enjoy my life in the act of MOVING which as I get older, is a gift to do.
