Operation Finding Peace: Serving Veterans Through Yoga

Operation Finding Peace: Serving Veterans Through Yoga

Join Kaia Yoga, Beryl Bender Birch, Seane Corn and Cyndi Lee for an evening to raise money and awareness for the Give Back Yoga Foundation and it's work with Yoga for Veterans. The event will include 108 sun salutations, panel discussion, silent auction and cocktail reception. Tickets will be available for one or all portions of the event.

The Give Back Yoga Foundation (http://givebackyoga.org/peace) believes in making yoga available to those who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience the transformational benefits of this powerful practice. They do this by supporting and funding certified yoga teachers to offer the teachings of yoga to under-served and under-resourced segments of the community.

Yoga for Veterans Supports teachers and programs focused on addressing the unique needs of those returning home from active duty. Providing instruction in yoga and meditation has been shown to help veterans lead more successful post-deployment lives, helping them transition back to civilian life and reconnect with themselves, friends and families.
