"There are a number of things I could point at as examples of how Combat Conscious yoga for Veterans has changed my life, both mentally and physically. If I were to pick one thing though, I think it is learning the ability to reset and refresh my thinking in any moment, by utilizing the breathing techniques that I have picked up through yoga. These techniques are especially helpful when dealing with stressors in your daily life, or a situation that is not typical but causes elevated stress and/or anxiety.”
“I highly recommend trying this out, especially if you are a veteran with PTSD. As a veteran myself, I know one of my biggest struggles has been “being in the moment.” I have found this worked AMAZINGLY in helping connect my mind body and soul...to the point it brought tears to my eyes to just actually be fully relaxed, conscious in my surroundings and actually engaged in the MOMENT. Not to mention, GREAT for the lower back! I know most of us vets struggle with that from carrying all that gear! Kendra is incredible at what she does!”
“I can't thank you enough! Thank you for getting me up and out of the house. I haven't felt this "peaceful" for over 20 years. I woke up this morning feeling better physically than I have in years. I have not slept as well as I did last night, in I can't remember how long. Thanks for giving me a positive outlook on life again. I even fell like eating healthier!”
