Yoga Nidra benefitting Veterans Yoga Project with Courtney Chase

Date: 11/20/2018 From: 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm

We warmly invite you to honor our nation’s veterans by attending this donation-based class as part of Veterans Gratitude Week. This is one of hundreds of classes, where thousands of veterans and civilians will come together in cities around the country to breathe, meditate, move, rest, and feel gratitude for all of the men and women who have served to protect our freedom.

All proceeds raised will help Veterans Yoga Project support recovery and resilience among our veterans, families, and communities. We are very grateful for your tax-deductible financial contribution.

Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep, involves relaxing the mind and body in savasana, while being led through a peaceful, mindful visualization and deep relaxation.

From November 2 - 12, 2018, Veterans Yoga Project will be hosting our fifth annual national yoga event. Our 5th Annual Veterans 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 2017, Veterans Yoga Project documented over 17,000 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.
