The art of yoga has been practiced for thousands of years and most recently has been incorporated into medical practice as a holistic approach to healing. Veterans return from war with a unique set of physical and mental limitations, and for them a unique healing strategy must be established.
One piece of the healing puzzle is alternative therapy, and to accommodate wounded warriors, Warriors at Ease was established. With resources available at http://warriorsatease.com, Warriors at Ease “brings the healing power of yoga and meditation to military communities around the world, especially those affected by combat stress, PTSD [posttraumatic stress disorder], and trauma.”
This website offers information on earning certification to teach yoga and meditation in military communities, including why, how, and where. Webinars and residential trainings are offered on such topics as Fundamentals, Teaching Trauma-Sensitive Meditation, and Advanced Skills for Addressing Combat-Related Issues. A certified instructor can also be found through the zip code search function.
