The Courage to Surrender: How Yoga Supports Veterans in the Return Home

Chris Engel 10/17/139:16 PM

This is an interview with Lilly Bechtel, who has been volunteering in correctional facilities since 2005. In 2010, Lilly became certified in a trauma-sensitive yoga style, and for two years offered a trauma sensitive yoga class in the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) clinic of a veteran's hospital in the Bronx. Her Elephant Journal series "At Attention, At Peace" is a forum for sharing these interviews, hoping to open up a greater dialogue between the military and the yoga communities. She is currently working on a book based on interviews with veterans, teachers and officials in the military about the effects of yoga on PTSD.
