Repost from @washoesheriff • “Don’t let hollow heroes distract you from saving yourself.” -Nikki Rowe
The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Veterans Barracks inside our Detention Facility represent an emerging shift in the philosophy of law enforcement. We are continually working to stabilize individuals entrusted to our custody, and work to return them to the community better off than when they arrived.
Prior to coming here, these inmates served our country.
Today, the @battle_born_yoga_project volunteered their time to help our Veterans learn to recognize the stresses accumulated throughout their lives. In addition to recognizing stressors, the Battle Born Yoga Project also teaches our Veterans how to manage stress and emotional health through a holistic approach of mindfulness and meditation.
The Battle Born Yoga Project is a 501©(3) nonprofit organization that introduces yoga and meditation to Veterans and service members in our community by offering free classes and workshops.
All classes are: • Culturally appropriate and conducted in way that is relevant to the military and first responder communities • Evidence- Based: All teachers are continually up to date with the latest research and teachings • Trauma Sensitive: The practices we teach are all trauma-sensitive, safe, effective and appropriate for those with visible or invisible injuries incurred from trauma, war or life - # #yogaforvets #renoveterans #renovets #yogaforPTSD #yogaforcombatwarriors #yogaformitary #yogaforanxiety #supporourvets #warriorsatease (at Reno, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFxZXz7FBRW/?igshid=xbymivuvdall

Let me just tell you about Janel Norton @phojojanel and her iRest Meditation. 😴 She gifted us with this practice today and it took me right to the space where I needed to connect... Within. 🙏🏼 I had to share this and I recommend iRest to anyone who is seeking a sense of peace and purpose. Alternative remedies, such as yoga and meditation are powerfully healing. It’s never too late to try!✨ @irestmeditation @lotuspondyoga @trinityyoga #alternativetherapies #irestmeditation #irest #yoganidra #innerresource #tappingin #selfnurturance #selfcare #healthyself #yogaforpts #traumainformedyoga #warriorsatease #healingtribe #namaste #healingmyself (at The Lotus Pond Center for Yoga and Health) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4YOgGenYdPkNbO3mx2y-C4VDpw_kQqIH43dzc0/?igshid=1epb25aj040si

Today I taught my final class (Hatha Flow) for Yoga Teacher Training 200 certification. Tomorrow is graduation day!!! So grateful for the lessons learned throughout this 9 month journey. These eight limbs of yoga are fundamental to practice. Yoga is a way of life and more than physical practice. #guidingwellness #warriorsatease #ytt200 #yoga

Look what I found. :) I have not seen this guy in over 9yrs. I am super excited to have @ybt_11 Kenyel Kilgore with me in Honduras. Him and I were battle buddies and served together at our first Army Unit 326nd Engineers at Fort Benning, Georgia. Years later we have reconnected and he will be spending the next week with me learning yoga and going on adventures. #Yoga #Yogi #TravelingYogi #Yoga4Veterans #VeteranYogi #WarriorsAtEase #ArmyVet #Veteran @warriorsatease @connectedwarriors @veteransyogaproject @vetogawa @yogajoes @teamyogaslackers (at Yogas Garden)

#Repost @yogajournal (@get_repost) ・・・ Pictured: Staff Sergeant Dan Nevins — Veteran turned Yoga Teacher. . Hey everyone, it’s @robertsturman here, taking over YJ’s Instagram for the weekend. It’s VETERANS DAY, and let me begin by saying that many vets will tell you that yoga and meditation are helping to greatly improve the quality of their lives. . I would like to thank all of the yoga studios who have joined the November #helpvetsheal global campaign in which free yoga is offered to them for the month of November. It’s not too late to jump in, so tag your studio and let’s continue to extend our gratitude for their service by taking ACTION and making yoga accessible. Email [email protected] for a free starter kit. . Below are some moving words from highly decorated veteran, Lieutenant Colonel James Alden, who now shares yoga through @warriorsatease. . I spent 15 of my 24 years in the military as a, “Green Beret,” a proud member of the United States Army Special Forces. I am a combat veteran, a modern warrior, and a quiet professional. . I am often reminded of the sacrifices of my fallen comrades – Staff Sergeant Mike Simpson, Captain Dan Eggers, Captain Jeremy Chandler, CW2 Bruce Price, Sergeant First Class Mark Jackson, Lieutenant Colonel Todd Clark, Lieutenant Colonel Jaimie Leonard, and others. I hold onto their memory, cherish our connection, and draw strength from their embodiment of selfless service, courage, and love. No one understands sacrifice, love for country, and the importance of connection more than warriors and Gold Star Families (families of the fallen) . Regrettably, our nation’s wars will continue, and so will the deep wounds and the sacrifices. . I have a daily yoga and meditation practice that has served me both at home and in a combat environment. Mind-body practices have helped me to fully embrace the warrior I have become through my combat experiences and decades of service to our nation. I believe in the power of this work because I’ve experienced it personally, and I have seen the impact it has on my fellow warriors. ~ Lieuten . #helpvetsheal @dannevins #yogaforveterans

As I’m practicing for it, this class will be inspired by my 1000HR Naropa Yoga degree and this past summer yoga walking in the Sierras reflecting on time I was in an MFA Interdisciplinary Arts program. Sounds like a lot, though really means whatever the moment will bring. Similar to how I taught my contemplative partner dance classes while as a student at Naropa University. #yoga #warriorsatease @WarriorsAtEase @naropau @unrlaketahoe @snu.mfaia (at Reno, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkbYe4nPWHD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Took a little while and now have them printed. Useful for when I’m teaching veterans at the local jail and can’t use my phone to reference the manual. #veterans #yoga #meditation #warriorsatease #battlebornyogaproject https://www.instagram.com/p/CEXhzLoFyVl/?igshid=sskuthbl655d

#Repost @warriorsatease #warriorsatease #yoga #veteran #musician #combatveteran #meditation ・・・ Meet WAE Level 1 Trained Teacher Dennis K!!! . . While serving as an Army Musician (Trumpet Player) from 2002-2012, Dennis took many yoga classes and loved the results of how those classes made him feel. Around the time his Army contract was finishing, he had a sparked interest to pursue a yoga education. He remembered that he had an interest in Naropa University and saw that they have a yoga teacher training program and degree, it was a simple decision. . . His first yoga class at the Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base in Little Creek, VA was the most relaxed he had felt at that time in his life. His yoga journey throughout his service in the Army was the foundation of his sense of comfort and stability in a war zone and with challenges stateside, and after serving. . . "I want that for all of my fellow veterans." . . Dennis was motivated to pursue his Warriors at Ease Training through his work with the @battle_born_yoga_project, working to provide yoga and meditation to the military community in his hometown area of Reno/Sparks Nevada. . . An upright meditation posture is Dennis's favorite because it is the foundation of his day. "Starting my day without meditation means I need to scramble to make sure I have one asap so I can be calmer during the day."
