The mission of Warriors for Healing (W4H) is to provide free yoga classes and resources to service members, veterans, their families and caregivers. W4H empowers veterans and service members suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to redevelop their mind/body connection, find calm and ease the symptoms of combat stress. W4H works with studios and certified yoga teachers to tailor thei
r skills and teach more effectively in a military/veteran environment – we do this by holding major events throughout the year. Yoga science offers extremely effective tools for dealing with this crisis. Numerous studies confirm that veterans who participate in yoga (including postures, breathing techniques, guided visualization and affirmation) show improvements in coping with PTSD and emotional challenges while enhancing their physical and mental stability. Veterans practicing yoga have reported improved sleep habits, decreased anxiety, an increase in physical and emotional stability, and greater self-compassion and self-esteem.
