PKX 069 - Find Your Fix With Dave Rachford

PK Experience (PKX)

David Rachford is a Navy Veteran and Yoga Teacher. Like many, David grew up in a challenging environment as a teenager, and channeled his anger into competitive athletics. Sports were a positive escape from a rough childhood, but eventually he dropped out of high school. He failed out of Junior college twice, before joining the Navy to get off the farm. The Navy provided structure and challenge, and David earned a Navy Achievement medal, and was deployed to the Persian Gulf and Somalia during operation Restore Hope. A debilitating injury ended his Navy career early, and he struggled for years recoving from his injury and battling prescription drug abuse. Eventually, he found the practice of yoga and restored his health. He's gone on to run Marathons (6 and counting) hiked the 225 mile John Muir Trail, and now teaches yoga in Santa Barbara. He's also the creator of CombatMat; a premium, natural yoga mat, designed for men as the ultimate foundation for a strong yoga practice. Listen in as Dave shares his journey to discover his unique form of impact.
