Using the technique of Vetspeak I have tailor made military wellness program created using military culture, yoga and cutting-edge science (Garcia, 2019). These programs use fitness knowledge that veterans already are familiar with that are choregraphed in a way that they will be doing trauma yoga without realizing it. •

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:
Heather Clark is a US Navy Veteran, served as Intelligence analyst for navy intelligence and special operations. She was also a military spouse and ombudsman. Heather holds a B.S. in Psychology, minor Evolutionary Anthropology and is a graduate student in Public Health at Purdue University. When her military community was taken away, she was devasted. Her sense of purpose was gone, and she found herself without a community to belong to and was left with mental and physical disabilities from her service. A decade later she re-discovered the healing properties of yoga and became a yoga teacher with a mission of sharing this healing skillset with fellow veterans. She has created a unique military style yoga program combined with cutting edge neuroscience research from the leading universities in the country to help fellow veterans with their own health challenges.
