Today, I’m honored to have as my guest, Army Special Operations veteran Alex Horton. Alex spent ten years on active duty within the Special Operations community, during which she led the unit’s Cultural Support Team program and deployed on six combat cycles with the 75th Ranger Regiment. In 2015 she coordinated the inaugural Freed-OM Festival, promoting yoga and meditation as a proactive approach to healing the mental and physical ailments of combat stress. Alex has been practicing yoga for 10yrs and received her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certification from the Yax Brothers in 2016. Alex will be attending a Master’s program in Fall2020 as she transitions out of the Army and goes onto pursue a career in Psychology. We’re going to learn a lot more about Alex, her time in the Army, how she got involved with Yoga and meditation, her military transition, and what she’s doing now - that’s all here in today’s episode of the Veteran’s PATH podcast.
