Yoga in ME Unveils Special Event for Veterans Day

Outreach Event for Free Yoga Classes for Veterans

ELIOT, ME — Yoga in ME of Eliot, ME today unveiled a special event for Veteran’s Day. The special event is a chance to join in Yoga in ME’s FREE Yoga for Veterans class and see what yoga feels like. All are welcome, especially veterans, and there will also be a question and answer session along with snacks and other refreshments available.

The physical and mental health benefits of yoga have long been known, helping aid sleep, increase a sense of well-being as well as relieving depression and resolving anxiety and fear. It is also well-known for relieving pain from physical injuries.

For veterans returning home and trying to settle into civilian life, yoga offers a powerful activity that can help them re-adjust. The supportiveness of the classes also offers a familiar sense of camaraderie – and all, especially complete beginners, are welcome with open arms into the community.
