This study underscores the importance of educating patients and providers on current resources and potential benefits of yoga to enhance the use of yoga among this unique, underserved population. Use of existing resources within the VAMC, particularly the Whole Health System, may improve the reach of yoga, ultimately benefiting the health and well-being of these Veterans.
