Elks Lodge to offer yoga for veterans

A “trauma conscious” yoga class for veterans and their families will be offered from noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays, starting Aug. 30, at Durango Elks Lodge, 901 East Second Ave.

An open house will be held Aug. 30 to start the series.

Matthew Sommerville of Connected Warriors, an organization that offers yoga classes for soldiers, will lead the class, which will focus on managing the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder through yoga practices, such as breath regulation, movement, body awareness, mindfulness, meditation, etc.

The class is free to veterans and family, and open to all.
