As weird as a choice Yoga might be, it is the balancing aspect of it which probably helped with the retraining.
What rewiring? I assume the pressures from the landings in the parachute jumps he performed caused some disk in his spine to push into the nerve cells there and when he started to train with yoga, the strength he gained and the exercise caused a recovery of his spine, releasing the pressure on the nerves, which then recovered as well. I don't think he had any brain damage as it seemed like only his legs were affected, hinting at some damage in the lower back. Gaining weight was probably not helpful for the recovery in the first place as it increased the weight and pressure on his already damaged spine.

Of course it's great that he managed to recover, but as he says in the video, it's probably owed largely to the yoga guy who wanted to help him for free because he seems to have a heart.

Now if he had received some proper care from someone with the right power, money and maybe even resposnsibilty because he worked for them right from the start, maybe he could have saved himself the downtrodden times, maybe the yoga teacher wouldn't have had to help him for free and maybe he could have become a productive member of society even earlier. Or maybe he is just a welfare leecher who got lucky/was touched by the spirit of capitalism and productivity.
I'm really confused these days, but it's an uplifting story.
