A regular class becomes a gesture of gratitude

Veterans Yoga Project’s annual campaign invites teachers to support continuing free access for veterans and their communities.

Veterans Yoga Project says its 2026 Veterans Gratitude Week began November 6. Ahead of November 11, the nonprofit invites teachers and communities to host donation-based classes and other gatherings.

The campaign supports access beyond one week

The organization traces the campaign to a small group of teachers in 2014. Its current page includes yoga and meditation alongside walks, hikes and other community activities. The purpose is to support its continuing free programs for veterans, families and the wider military community.

The page also identifies an online studio as part of that access. It says regular online classes remain free for veterans, families and supporters; donations are suggested rather than required for regular clients. Individual campaign events have their own listings.

This is an organization’s campaign announcement, not an independent evaluation of its services or a request from Yoga Plus for donations. Its claims about clinical effects are outside this report. The teaching story is a familiar class becoming a point of connection with a wider community.
