Yoga For Vets
Hi everyone, I am posting here for the first time although I have been visiting this site for years picking up little nuggets of knowledge and inspiration along the way. I am sending out a request to yoga teachers and yoga students about a web site that helps military veterans of past or present wars. Www.yogaforvets.com lists teachers and studios from around the world that agree to offer 4 free classes to anyone who has served in any past or present wars or military conflicts. At the web site, veterans can find a studio or teacher closest to his or her home where they can take the classes. Regardless of your views about war (most common answer; War Bad), everyone seems to agree that letting a vet try yoga is good karma. Teachers please sign up by visiting the web site. Yoga students are encouraged to tell their teachers and studios about www.yogaforvets.com. Thank you in advance for any help or interest and giving me any input, advice or comments on this new project.
Om Shanti (Peace)

Yoga For Vets
P.S. Timothy Burgin, Founder of Yoga Basics agrees with the idea behind Yoga For Vets so much, he agreed to give a 6 month premium membership to any war veteran. Please spread the word to any vet that you know about www.yogaforvets.com as well as Yoga Basics generous offer.

Yogic Wisdom
Without intention, all these postures, these breathing practices, meditations, and the like can become little more than ineffectual gestures. When animated by intention, however, the simplest movement, the briefest meditation, and the contents of one breath cycle are made potent.
Donna Farhi

Ahimsa, the yogic practice of non violence must be adhered to when engaging in the practice of hatha yoga. Respect your body's limitations and inner wisdom, if something feels wrong or dangerous, please do not do it.
Please consult your health care practitioner before starting a yoga, pranayama or other exercise program.
