What veterans are saying about the pain management class
Veteran Comments about the Trauma-informed Yoga Classes
“This is an excellent way to gently loosen yourself and get centered. The breathing I have learned has helped me with my anxiety on a daily basis. The stretching techniques have made my muscles feel strengthened! While I am here, I am able to get focused on the moment. Please continue this class!!”
“Yael has done a wonderful job. I have felt the changes in my body. I had been injured playing basketball and I recovered fast. I attribute the speedy recovery to yoga class. My blood pressure is going down and I notice my breathing patterns more and I’m able to correct them using yoga breathing techniques. If anything else, we need more classes.”
“It helped me relax, which I haven’t done in a very long time. I just started the class, so I hope it’s still here in January.”
“I will definitely be back! Any of these yoga classes rock!”
“Since I’ve been doing this yoga class, I have less muscle cramps, less lower back aches and less stressful feelings.”
“I absolutely will come to more classes. This class is amazing -- So worth it!” (from someone who drives an hour to get to the class)
“That was amazing and I love it with my whole being! Thank you! - Love It!”
