By sharing the healing power of yoga, we can address those struggling in the veteran community and try to enrich their lives. There are many studies that prove the therapeutic effects of yoga, specifically for aiding symptoms associated with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). OC Warriors offers free yoga classes to veterans and their families. The goal is to spread awareness of the growing num
ber of victims, and to bring direct relief of their symptoms. A sense of camaraderie from practicing with fellow soldiers always brings comfort. A typical class includes a calming breath-based meditation combined with a grounding flow of movements which connect to the breath. This connection reinforces a sense of control and displays to the practitioners that they are in charge of their bodies. OC Warriors harnesses the power of our community to share information, bring people together, and focus on a common goal. The first priority is to provide the yoga to our local veteran community. In addition, OC Warriors encourages support of various charitable groups dedicated to the same goal.
