War, trauma and yoga

In this episode you meet war veteran Kjell Lamo. While most of us only see and hear about war through the news, many Norwegians have served abroad with the armed forces.

"Many struggle to come fully home," says the website of the veterans' association. Some veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress and come home with both physical and mental injuries.

"The smell of barbecued meat on peaceful, sunny summer days reminds me of mass graves and burnt bodies," says Kjell Lamo, who regularly meets other war veterans to do yoga and find both relaxation and a sense of mastery.
