ABOUT 2025 VGW

Support Veterans Through the Power of Yoga and Gratitude

Join Us for Veterans Gratitude Week | November 7–16, 2025

Veterans Gratitude Week (VGW) is more than just a fundraising event—it’s a national movement to honor, heal, and empower those who have served. Hosted by Veterans Yoga Project, this inspiring week brings together individuals, communities, and organizations to raise awareness and funds through donation-based yoga and mindfulness classes in support of our nation’s veterans, active duty service members, and their families.

Why It Matters

Behind every class we offer is a veteran who is learning to breathe through anxiety, reconnect with loved ones, or sleep through the night without flashbacks. Our trauma-sensitive, evidence-based yoga programs are a lifeline for thousands—and your support makes them possible.

Your donation directly helps us:

  • Provide nearly 5,000 free yoga and mindfulness classes annually

  • Train and certify teachers in our Mindful Resilience for Trauma Recovery method

  • Maintain and grow our Online Studio, accessible to veterans across the country

  • Fund programs specifically designed for military families and caregivers

This Week is About Gratitude in Motion

Whether you're a veteran, family member, yoga enthusiast, or someone who simply believes in giving back, this is your chance to make a real difference.

💙 Every dollar counts. Your donation—no matter the amount—helps us reach more veterans in need of healing support.
📅 Every day of VGW is a chance to participate—attend a class, host a fundraiser, or simply spread the word.
📣 Every voice matters. Share why you support Veterans Yoga Project and encourage others to give.

Take Action. Show Thanks. Heal Lives.

Make your donation today in honor of someone who served. Help us bring gratitude into motion and continue offering the healing practices veterans need and deserve.

Together, we can turn gratitude into impact.
