From November 8 - 18, 2019, Veterans Yoga Project will be hosting our sixth annual national yoga event. Veterans Yoga Project Gratitude Week enables communities to support recovery and resilience among our veterans, families, and communities. We raise awareness about Post-Traumatic Stress (Disorder) and the work we are doing through yoga classes and events across the USA. Veterans Gratitude Week enables communities to support recovery and resilience among our veterans, families, and communities.
Estimates of PTSD Among Veterans
- 500,000 Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom & New Dawn Veterans with PTS(D)
- 80,000 Gulf War Veterans with PTS(D)
- 420,000 Vietnam Veterans with PTS(D)
In 2018, Veterans Yoga Project documented over 20,775 visits by veterans and their family members to classes taught by VYP-trained teachers. VYP has also documented that Mindful Resilience leads to clinically significant reductions in Pain and Distress among veterans in treatment at VAs and Vet Centers. Most importantly, we hear back from the clinicians, clinical directors, and the veterans and their family members themselves, that we are creating space for real healing, empowerment, and resilience.
