Give Back Yoga Foundation

Everyone once in awhile something gets brought to my attention and I think wow, that's pretty amazing...this is one of those times. 

The Give Back Yoga Foundation was started by a former World Bank project manager who decided to do something different with his life.  The Give Back Yoga Foundation states that 1 in 3 soldiers deployed to the Middle East return with serious mental health issues, such as depression, traumatic brain injury, and PTSD.  That is a scary and sad figure. 

Their goal for the upcoming year, "To bring our Yoga For Veterans Toolkits, developed by expert teachers with years of experience in working with soldiers with post-traumatic stress, to at least 10,000 veterans across the country."

The website is pretty amazing and I urge you to head over there and check it out.  They have tons of great projects going on.  The practice of yoga can have a profound impact on a person's life and here is one organization working to use that practice to change lives.  

Namaste!
