Sue Lynch on Serving Combat Veterans Coping With Trauma
Executive Director Rob Schware talks with There & Back Again founder Sue Lynch for The Huffington Post Blog on her work of helping fellow combat veterans navigate life after war.
“My intention in sharing yoga with my fellow veterans was to give them tools for immediate relief, instead of suffering for decades, as was my experience and that of many generations of veterans…yoga gives us choices, allows us not to have to try so hard, which is contrary to military training (“no pain, no gain” and “pain is weakness leaving the body”). Yoga connects us to ourselves. This connection in turn allows us to then connect to our loved ones and our communities”
– Sue Lynch, founder of There & Back Again, an organization that gives returning combat veterans free whole-body wellness services.
