Military-Civilian Divide Explored, Free Yoga for Veterans, Soldier's Best Friend Matches Vets with Companion Dogs, Quick Stress Relief Tips


This article was shared by Blue Star Families on their blog, and it’s about the current ‘disconnect’ between service members/veterans and the general public/politicians – very thought provoking: http://bluestarfam.org/blog/view/haynie-ted-talk Direct link to video: http://youtu.be/oSWhIUiGang  If you’re impressed by Dr. Mike Haynie, here’s more about IVMF (Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University) at http://vets.syr.edu/, Entrepreneur Bootcamp (http://whitman.syr.edu/ebv/), and the VetNet at: http://www.vetnethq.com/

A contributor asked if we knew about any free yoga classes for veterans…so here’s some links to explore (Thanks for the great question!):

Contact local yoga studios/teachers/schools to see if they may offer something, or want to start offering a group targeting local veterans

Nice article in this weekend's Arizona Republic on Soldier's Best Friend, a Glendale-based non-profit that matches veterans with injuries with therapeutic companion dogs. See more at: http://www.azcentral.com/thingstodo/living/articles/20140215veteran-ptsd-pitbull-mix-bond-loving-home.html
