I volunteer to help Veterans find affordable sober living housing through a company called “Sober Living by Tiffany” in Ft. Lauderdale.

When you practice either at a Connected Warriors led Trauma-Conscious Yoga class or on your own, please practice with these guidelines in mind:
• Wear loose comfortable clothing that allows movement.
• Refrain from eating anything heavy two hours prior to practicing.
• Stay hydrated before and after you practice.
• Use the blocks and/or strap to support the posture to meet your physical abilities.
• Listen to your body’s rhythm and adjust your practice accordingly in regard to duration, difficulty and intensity considering any injuries, illness and mental stress.
