All of us have to deal with varying degrees of trauma from the day we are born but few are forced to sit with such unthinkable horrors as the women and men who are called to protect this country. Luckily, there is hope for veterans who are looking for ways to cope with their internal wounds and that hope is yoga. We are joined today by Yoga Alliance RYT-200 certified yoga teacher, Morgan Daugherty, who is here to spill the beans on the magic of using yoga to work through trauma. Morgan explains how she began working with veterans and why this work is so important to her before detailing the ins and outs of the Veterans Yoga Project. We learn about yoga being transformative, what Morgan teaches in her Mindful Resilience class, the impact and
reach of Warrior Church, and examples of when our guest has seen yoga do wonders for her veteran students. Please tune in as we discover how yoga gives us the capacity to endure the sufferings of life.
