ptsd Yoga As An Alternative To Meds And Therapy.

[Oiler1995]

Has anyone ever tried Yoga,as an alternative to medication and therapy,or a combination of the 3.I been on so many anti depressants over the years along with therapy and none of them did much for me.I heard good things about yoga for PTSD and other emotional disorders.www.yogaacrossamerica.com is offering veterans yoga classes,i seen the flyer at my vet center.I guess it won't hurt for me to give it a try.Thanks.

Heh if you are able to do the poses its great. It requires discipline, but heh it is child splay compared to the military. I do the breathing techniques. Can't really do the poses. I know this sounds kind of VA talk but meditation helps.

If anything I am reminded of Happy Gilmore. Go to your "happy place" Doesn't always work but occasionally it does. You would be surprised how much power you have with self talk. I on occasion remember some of the things Yoga emphasizes. Not very often but some times.
