Warriors at Ease

Trauma-Informed, Adaptive Yoga and Mindfulness Practices for the Military Community and Miami, involving the use of yoga and meditation as an adjunct therapy.

The Warriors at Ease (WAE) mission and work began in 2009 as early research studies at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center as well as VA Medical Centers in Washington D.C. The success of these studies paved the way for the WAE training curriculum. The success of our training and the expansion of our Global Teacher Network is creating sustainable access to mindfulness and evidence-based services in support of initiatives within the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) dedicated to the unique needs of the military population. WAE and our Teacher Network continue to lead the industry in support of both the military and civic sectors maintaining the quality, efficacy, and access to mission-essential training and educational resources. Access to these bottom-up, evidence-based approaches is critical to ensuring both immediate and long term health, resilience, and post-traumatic growth for individuals and communities currently suffering from a loss of connection.
