Veterans Recovery Resources is November Karma Cause

By Announcement

Karma Yoga Veterans Recovery Resources Sterling Hot Yoga Mobile ALOne of the many things we are grateful for during this month of thanksgiving is the sacrifice our men and women in uniform make on our behalf for our freedoms.

With Veterans Day this month, it is only fitting that we focus our Sterling Karma Cause efforts on Veterans Recovery Resources, a non-profit, community-based mental wellness program that is currently being developed by veterans for veterans.

Founder John Kilpatrick, one of our very own Sterling yogis, is a 31-year Army reservist is who committed to improving veteran well-being by removing barriers to mental health care. This is especially important as the Gulf Coast is home to the second largest concentration of veterans in the entire country.

John is passionate about providing a unique recovery program for veterans and their families suffering from substance abuse, PTSD and other mental health issues.

You can help support Veterans Recovery Resources’ efforts by making a tax-deductible donation online here or at the studio during our designated karma yoga classes.

The 5:30 p.m. class on Mondays this month will be open to the public for a donation that will go to this much-needed program and make an immediate difference. We look forward to seeing you then!
