Warrior for Life

Fridays 4 – 5 PM

Protect and Serve

Mondays 4 – 5 PM

The Warrior for Life series is a weekly complimentary all-levels class for those who serve and those who have served in our nation’s military. The class will include a basic flow to loosen up the body and bring about a new awareness of body and breat. It is a safe, comfortable environment for service members past and present to be introduced to the practice of yoga by fellow veterans. 

The Protect and Serve series is a weekly complimentary all-levels class for first responders past and present. The class will include a basic flow to loosen up the body and bring a new awareness of body and breath. It is a safe, comfortable environment for first responders to be introduced to the practice of yoga by military veterans who share an understanding of serving one’s natio and the impact such a career has on the body and mind. 

Currently our Warrior for Life and Protect and Serve classes have been merged in to one Live-Streaming Class per week.  That virtual class is on Wednesdays at 6:30pm.  Sign up and you will receive an email 30-60 minutes before the class with the Zoom video conference meeting information.  We hope to return to our in-person Honor Our Heroes classes soon!

At FlyDog Yoga we care deeply about those who serve their country.  FlyDog Yoga co-founder, Brad Whiteman, is an Army Special Forces Officer who served 10 years on active duty and served 10 more years in the Army National Guard.  We recognize the sacrifice made by our nation’s military members and first responders and the toll that these chosen professions can take on the body and the mind.  Our goal is to make them aware of the power of yoga in healing the body and the mind and to create a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for them to learn and grow.  We work closely with several national organizations that are dedicated to bringing mindfulness and wellness to these communities and we support and work closely with many local organizations that promote health and wellness through physical and social activities.  

We hope you can help us spread the word about our programs and the initiatives of these other wonderful organizations!
