Yoga and The Military: Could there be a connection?

Mistik Yoga With KT Lynn

This is Mistik Yoga's FIRST podcast ever! It is an honor to start by covering this topic first and discussing avenues of health and healing for the men and women who have bravely served this country. This interview was with my fiancé and Marine Corps veteran Barrett Stephens. We begin by discussing his service and what led him to a Yoga practice. The bulk of the interview goes on to discuss Trauma and PTSD. Weaving together how Yoga can be a complimentary gateway in helping create ease in the life of current military and veterans. The approach in this podcast is through two sets of eyes, so as to bridge the gap a bit between those like myself who have not served in the military and those who have served. This is a clean but serious topic based podcast so please advise. Show Notes: For further information about the articles we referenced please review the following citation: 1.
