Review for Veterans Yoga Project, Alameda, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

After I deployed to Afghanistan I was struggling to feel like I was back home. Drinking, going thru the motions of my life. Marriage fell apart couldn’t focus on work. Not sleeping. Mentally I could see I was a slow motion train wreck but I didn’t know what to do about it. I discovered Yoga and found some peace and pain relief and increased mobility. That journey led to the Veterans Yoga Project and they believed in me enough to give me a scholarship to become a Certified Yoga Teacher. The program is run by Veterans. I got to spend a week at the Himalayan Institute with over 20 other veterans. Everything was covered. The online training, food, housing, travel I think total was around $10,000. It was an opportunity I never even thought I could do. I learned a lot about Yoga and myself and to be able to share that experience with a bunch of other veterans I can’t even put into words. Thanks VYP
