Never, Ever Give Up!
Arthur Boorman is a disabled veteran of the Gulf War. He was told by his doctors that he would never be able to walk on his own again, ever.
He stumbled upon an article about Yoga and decided to give it a try; he couldn’t do traditional, higher impact exercises.
Arthur’s trainer encouraged him to believe that anything was possible. Even though doctors told him walking would never happen, Arthur was persistent. He fell many times, but he kept going.
Arthur got stronger, and he lost weight at an incredible rate! He gained tremendous balance and flexibility which gave him hope that, maybe, someday, he might be able to walk again.
