WHOLE HEALTH INIATIVES

Taking a lead from the Robert J. Dole VA Center Veteran, KS4Vets has partnered with several organizations and groups to create their own Whole Health Initiatives in Central Kansas.

Yoga Warriors

Through a partnership with Sunflower Yoga in Hutchinson, KS veterans can take yoga/meditation classes on Thursdays at noon starting in 2021 (COVID-19 pending). Instructor, Brian Martin E-RYT 200, has been trained through YOGA WARRIORS INTERNATIONAL. This training has provided Brian with advanced knowledge and practical tools to work with combat veterans diagnosed with COSR or PTSD. This method skillfully integrates concepts from yoga therapy, traditional yoga philosophy, and psychology, with current scientific knowledge of the body and mind to promote health and well-being.

If you would like to enroll in the this veteran specific class, please contact Sunflower Yoga Studio at:

Hope for Heroes

Reigns of Hope, a center for therapeutic horseback riding, created a program several years ago to assist veterans in need. The program, Hope for Heroes, uses equine therapy to help veterans who are dealing with various health concerns (physically, mentally, and emotionally).

KS4VETS has partnered with Reigns of Hope to support and promote this program. If you or a Veteran you know would like to utilize this resource, please contact Reigns of Hope at:
