RINDGE — Rhythmic breathing filled the room as more than a dozen community members practiced yoga through the Veterans Yoga Project on April 29 at Cathedral of the Pines.

The Veterans Yoga Project is a national program supporting veterans’ recovery “from stress-related mental health challenges,” according to the organization’s website, and helping them build resilience. Cathedral of the Pines Executive Director Michelle Lowe said the free, hour-long Wednesday and Friday classes are open to veterans, military families and members of the general public.
