In this episode of Insight Mind Body Talk, we're focused on how yoga can help our military service members heal from trauma. Jeanne welcomes Shaye Molendyke, a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel who holds a master's in counseling. Shaye is a Certified Yoga Therapist and the creator and director of YogaFit for Warriors, a trauma-informed yoga teacher training program. Shaye and Jeanne discuss ways in which we can help prevent and heal post-traumatic stress disorder among our military.
