"The Teachers Alliance provides a mechanism for VYP Teachers to connect to one another and share best practices for supporting recovery and resilience to veterans, their families, and their communities.
Teaching for VYP is a chance for me to give back and support those who give their service to our country"
"The VYP Teachers Alliance is a catalyst for change. The resources, professional development, and opportunities have been plentiful. I am supported and prepared to teach veterans, to meet them where they are, and grow with them on the journey of Mindful Resilience"
"It is a remarkable honor to teach through the Veterans Yoga Project at the Detroit VA Hospital. In the class are veterans, doctors, medical staff, and administrators. In addition to the benefits of yoga and mindful resilience, the unique sense of community created has resulted in enhanced understanding and relationships between students. Every student has expressed their sincere gratitude for the classes: but it does not reach the gratitude I feel for teaching them"
