In this class the emphasis will be on grounding, breath awareness, mindful movement, and meditation and will utilize a combination of Mindful Resilience methods from the Veterans Yoga Project as well as awareness of core sensations to apply Universal Yoga Principles learned from Mind Body Solutions to adapt yoga for any body. The focus is on giving the practitioner self regulation strategies that can be used to overcome the effects of chronic stress, pain, and PTSD. These strategies have been reported to help veterans and active duty service members to sleep better, experience less anger, anxiety and depression, and generally help cope with the various symptoms of PTSD.
