Yoga Joes

I am a huge proponent of yoga for soldiers. For those of you who don't remember, I became certified as a Yoga Warriors International teacher in 2012 and it was truly an amazing experience. This year, I found a home for my weekly Yoga Warriors classes and it has been really rewarding to teach to the fantastic group of veterans who attend regularly. On a more personal note, my husband is a veteran and I have definitely seen firsthand the effect that yoga has had in his life.

So, when I found out about this Kickstarter campaign, I was beyond excited. First of all, anything that encourages more men in general, but ESPECIALLY veterans and military personnel, to give yoga a shot is aces in my book. And secondly...just look for yourself! These are so great!

I love how accessible these "Yoga Joes" make yoga appear. The little green army man, typically a gun-toting symbol of war, is transformed into something completely different. And frankly, I think they are totally awesome.

I'm not usually one for promoting a product. But these are not yet technically a product- they will only be made if the campaign goal is met by October 10. I would love to be able to give these out to my yoga students! If you are interested, follow the link about and watch the video to hear more about this campaign.

Namaste!
