Here is the class that I did for the Veterans Yoga Project for Healthy Backs Yoga Class
Thank you for joining this yoga class and I hope you enjoy the class!
Remember, you don’t have to be able to touch your toes, or bend like a pretzel to do yoga!
Back PAIN info:
Back pain is the 2nd most sited reason people go to the doctor
Back pain has a high occurrence in veterans for a number of reasons
And they are prescribed pills but it doesn’t really help
Then comes fatigue, depression & quality of life goes down
Yoga can actually help the back pain
45% of veterans have a military-connected disability
8% of adults in the US have back pain at some part of their life
30% of people in the US in the next 3 months will have a short course of back pain
So this affects everyone
This method of practices and yoga poses
Reduces the intensity of pain, depression, fatigue & medication use
Pain interference with daily life.
Quality of life & self-efficacy both went up with regular yoga practice
Ease back pain through gentle yoga through online practices offered by the Veterans Yoga Project Online Streaming classes Facebook/Zoom pages.

Since the formative years of the United States, more than one million American Soldiers have given and lost their lives protecting our freedoms and defending our nation’s liberties. Those Americans made the ultimate sacrifice. Veterans Yoga Project recognizes their sacrifice by annually gathering on Memorial Day to light candles in their honor.
We stand where they once stood. We bow to them with gratitude. We speak of their valor. We live.
