Episode 21 - Yoga in the Military

Mel sits down with Enrique Irby who has served in the military for over 20 years about his passion and interest in yoga in the military. Irby shares his first hand experience from beginning his mindfulness journey after four deployments and navigating mental health challenges that in his words saved his military career and has changed his life. Topics include accessibility, the relevance of mind body modalities and practical applications to how the timeless wisdom of yoga and mindfulness optimize soldier performance.
