Veterans Yoga Project is on a mission to support recovery and resilience among veterans, military families, and communities.
VYP began when Dr. Daniel J. Libby was working as a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Yale University Department of Psychiatry at the West Haven VA Medical Center, Connecticut.
While providing psychotherapy for veterans recovering from PTS(D), he found that those who developed empowering self-regulating practices had better outcomes — they moved through post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth more quickly and gracefully.

The Mindfulness Institute is a new Whole Health program focused on improving the health and well-being of Veterans and Staff, through the promotion of evidence-based Mindfulness Training across the VA Portland Healthcare System.
Mindfulness meditation for veterans: actually helpful or a woo-woo idea being peddled to you as a cure all for the stress of life? When you’ve spent any part of your professional career in the military, “calm” isn’t exactly a word you’d use to describe your time in service for most people. In fact, it’s pretty common to feel like you got institutionalized going all the way back to your first day at boot camp. So how can you bring mindfulness into your life? Is it even worth it? When should you meditate and what should that practice look like?
