Dr Vicki Kotsirilos supports yoga for PTSD

I met Dr Vicki Kotsirilos recently when I showed Heroes of Peace in Victoria. She is editor and chair of the Integrative Medicine Working Group of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. Her encouragement has meant a lot to me. Here's what she says:

"I was inspired and touched to witness the health benefits of yoga for Australian war veterans suffering post‐traumatic stress disorder in Ahimsa's film Heroes of Peace. There is a growing body of research that demonstrates the benefits of yoga for improving moods. People who have experienced trauma in their lives may find yoga helpful to lift their moods and spirits, and improve their ability to cope. "
Associate Professor (Dr) Vicki Kotsirilos, Medical Practitioner, Victoria
