Serving Those Who Served
Together, we support Veterans, military families, and community members to live their best lives. Each day, many navigate daily challenges ranging from post-traumatic stress (PTS), to anxiety, depression, emotional strain, or physical limitations, while others simply enjoy practicing.
Veterans Yoga Project helps individuals manage these challenges so they can move from post-traumatic stress to post traumatic growth and beyond. Our evidence-informed practices, for healing trauma and stress allow Veterans to cultivate self-regulation and resilience.
Our mission is to support recovery and resilience among our Veterans, military families, and communities. The classes, retreats, and outreach we provide offer a community where everyone gets to LIVE, THRIVE, and BELONG!
Find Your Road to Resilience
No matter where you are in your journey, find what empowers you!
There are many doorways to mindful resilience. Join one of our online or local yoga classes to practice our five techniques for developing resiliency. Help other Veterans by training to become a Mindful Resilience Yoga Teacher. You can even volunteer with us in any number of ways.
“VYP yoga is my mainstay in managing my PTSD. Tuesday and Thursday yoga and Wednesday am mediation is what keeps me married, balanced, employed and alive. Thank you to each of you for being here for us. Forever grateful you share these practices. “
