Yoga Therapy for the Military Community

Studies show that yoga is incredibly beneficial to improving mental health, tactical readiness and overall wellbeing in military communities. Yet, there is little guidance for yoga teachers on how to adapt their practice for the military and other tactical settings. In this book, leading expert in the field Melissa Aguirre provides guidance on how to communicate timeless yogic teachings in a way these communities can relate to.

Yoga teacher, consultant and military spouse herself, Aguirre focusses on interacting with active service members and their families in part one, and on teaching yoga to veterans in part two.

With expertise from over a decade of advocating for yoga implementation in tactical settings, and delivering yoga to the military community, Aguirre presents an essential manual for yoga teachers and therapists seeking to bring their work into unconventional settings.
