In a small workout room with a handful of other Navy veterans, David Rachford looked out the window to watch the fringed leaves of 
a tall royal palm tree wave softly in the warm Southern California breeze. The soothing view eased the challenging exercise routine he was trying for the first time.

back injury. As an outpatient receiving pain-
management treatment at the Veterans Administration West Los Angeles Medical Center, Rachford was now required to attend this weekly yoga physical-therapy class. It was the last place he’d ever expected to find himself.
