Yoga Warriors International is the first and largest program in the nation for healing combat veterans through yoga.
Yoga Warriors is a research and teacher training program with a twofold mission. First, we provide evidence-based hatha yoga to prevent or alleviate symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) or Combat Stress (COSR). Second, we are committed to the comprehensive training of yoga instructors equipped to teach this methodology to veterans, military, first responders and others who have experience PTS or high stress.
Yoga Warriors skillfully integrates concepts from yoga therapy, traditional yoga philosophy, and psychology.
Yoga Warriors teacher training is designed to provide advanced knowledge and practical tools for yoga teachers working with combat veterans diagnosed with COSR or PTSD. Our method skillfully integrates concepts from yoga therapy, traditional yoga philosophy, and psychology, with current scientific knowledge of the body and mind to promote health and well-being.
