WHAT'S NEW AT WWP
Injured Veterans Feel the Heat During Restorative Hot Yoga Session
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 25, 2018 -- Wounded warriors stretched and strengthened their muscles at a hot yoga session with Wounded Warrior Project®(WWP). They focused on restoring and healing their bodies and minds.
"It was a chance to try a new way to relieve pain," said Army veteran Jennifer Martin. "It helped, and I learned a lot. Also, I could relate to many of the other veterans. The event really helped me feel that I'm not alone with being in pain. We all deal with some of the same things."
Wounded Warriors Connect with Nature, Each Other at Full-Moon Paddle
MIAMI, Oct. 24, 2018 -- Wounded warriors and their families enjoyed a spectacular evening in Miami's Intracoastal Waterway. Led by Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP), the group gathered to watch the sunset and the rise of the full moon, and topped that off with a guided kayaking tour of Pelican Harbor Island.
Once the group arrived at the island, they had the opportunity to take pictures and enjoy the views. WWP staff carefully planned the outing to coincide with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: It was not only a full moon but also the longest lunar eclipse seen this century.

Wounded Warriors Learn Relaxation Techniques Through Recovery Yoga

Warriors learned the fundamentals of yoga, how it can help the body recover from everyday stress, and how to integrate this practice into their daily lives. Experts suggest the meditative qualities of relaxation through low-impact physical activities like yoga can compensate, in some circumstances, for loss of sleep.
