AND COUNTING...
All yoga classes and retreats are free or nominal cost to our veterans. We offer partial scholarships for veterans to attend our yoga teacher trainings. These programs account for 86% of our expenses.
Program Assessment
We assess our programs monthly by examining the impact on veterans, their families, and communities who take our classes.
Our program is evaluated by Timothy Avery, PsyD, Director of Program Evaluation, a US Navy and OIF veteran and graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. He earned his 200-hour certification at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. He is a clinical psychologist and completed a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on yoga, trauma, and chronic pain.
