Complementary health approaches, such as meditation and yoga, hold promise for treating the physiological and emotional states of PTSD. A regular meditation and yoga practice can improve sleep, boost mood, and ease chronic pain and depression symptoms.
This 45-minute class is designed to help you learn safe and effective stretching, breathing, and relaxation techniques that empower you to alleviate your stressors — both during the session and outside of class. You’ll discover ways to reflect rather than react. Take time to stand down and experience a moment of peacefulness.
This is a non-religious and non-spiritual class. Wear comfortable clothes, and bring a mat, towel, and/or cushion on which to sit.
We've partnered with Adventures in Training with a Purpose (ATP) to offer our Yoga Stand Down program at their facility in Wexford, PA. ATP is focused on improving the quality of life for veterans, active duty military, and first responders through their specialized division called Aurelius, which helps individuals achieve a better tomorrow through a holistic mind, body, and soul program.
This program is open to anyone who has ever served in the military and a guest. Participants must be 18 years of age or older.
Learn more about the Restore 22 Yoga Stand Down program by listening to our podcast featuring Gina Wilkes.
