Trauma-Informed Yoga with Morgan Daugherty

All of us have to deal with varying degrees of trauma from the
day we are born but few are forced to sit with such unthinkable
horrors as the women and men who are called to protect this
country. Luckily, there is hope for veterans who are looking for
ways to cope with their internal wounds and that hope is yoga. We
are joined today by Yoga Alliance RYT-200 certified yoga teacher,
Morgan Daugherty, who is here to spill the beans on the magic of
using yoga to work through trauma. Morgan explains how she began
working with veterans and why this work is so important to her
before detailing the ins and outs of the Veterans Yoga Project.
We learn about yoga being transformative, what Morgan teaches in
her Mindful Resilience class, the impact and
reach of Warrior Church, and examples of when our guest has seen
yoga do wonders for her veteran students. Please tune in as we
discover how yoga gives us the capacity to endure the sufferings
of life.
