I teach yoga and meditation to combat veterans who have come home. Many of them have PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), TBI (traumatic brain injury), and amputations. The article below accurately describes the problem they are having.

We need more people willing to teach yoga and meditation to these brave warriors. They are falling between the cracks and there aren't enough trained yoga and meditation teachers willing to work with them for free. If you want to get certified please contact www.connectedwarriors.org or www.warriorsatease.com. They are certifying agencies that are willing to help you help veterans.
