During Veterans Gratitude Week (November 4-13) yoga teachers and studios from communities around the country will be hosting donation-based yoga and meditation classes. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to Veterans Yoga Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to support recovery and resilience among our veterans, families and communities. Veterans Yoga Project provides classes, training, and healing retreats to enhance recovery and strengthen resilience for all veterans and for their families.
The events held during Veterans Gratitude Week will raise awareness of the issues that many veterans face and allow communities across the country to come together to support in a tangible way, the men and women who protect and serve the rest of us. Estimates of PTSD Among veterans are:
- 500,000 Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom & New Dawn Veterans
- 80,000 Gulf War Veterans
- 420,000 Vietnam Veterans
