Veteran Affairs Yoga with the Deputy Director
Mez Joseph
As Veteran Affairs continues to find new ways to improve the lives of our nation's veterans, they are expanding their methods to advance results. Liollio's Seth Cantley started instructing a yoga class at the VA in 2013. Seth was recently invited to meet with the Deputy Secretary of Veterans Affairs (2nd in-charge of the national branch), Sloan Gibons, to discuss the benefits of yoga, and the affects it has had on patients. Mr. Gibons was impressed with the impact on many of the vets dealing with chronic pain, post-surgery recovery, PTSD and other challenges. He was kind and open to suggestion on how to further expand complementary and alternative medicine at the VA.
