Yoga turns Indian soldiers into deadlier foes

It seems that yoga can be more effective than regular physical training, I would have to see more studies done though.

Wow,

We should do something similar - but rather an emphasis on martial arts vs Yoga.  I'd find PT so much more enjoyable (albeit harder) if I new the skills I was developing could be used to defend myself and the backs of my fellow soldiers better.  I'd wake up at 5am for Ninjitsu training anyday!

There is no way I would ever do that ass in the air yoga stance. I would take the charge.

Now TaiChi I would do

Didn't a unit of SF at Ft Devens do this years ago.  I seem to remember reading a book by some New Age guy who ran a program at Ft Devens that included yoga and I think Aikido.
