VetArtSpan host Fred Johnson has an enlightening conversation with yoga instructor Annie Okerlin, founder of the Exalted Warrior Foundation, which facilitates adaptive yoga instruction programs for Veterans, active duty and military reserves, as well as spouses and caregivers in VA hospitals and in community studio spaces around the country. Annie explains how yoga applies to the warrior's view of their bodies, and helps veterans "be here now" through the use of breath. Many who serve in the military know how to turn on the warrior within themselves, but don't always know how to turn that off. Annie's work helps them to use their breath to pause rather than react as they go through the journey of reintegration into civilian society.
