Warrior Yoga at the AHM 2/18/26 (Weekly Recurring, Wednesday Nights)
February 18 @ 6:00 pm, ending 7:00 pm
Free for Members / Veterans / First Responders
Recurring event – Wednesday Evenings from 6:00pm to 7:00pm
Free to all AHM Members, veterans, service members, first responders, and their in-home family members/caregivers.
Offered by our partner, the Warrior Within Yoga Project, Warrior Yoga classes are designed specifically for the veteran and first responder community and provide tools to manage stress and increase resilience.
All Warrior Yoga classes are beginner-friendly and made to be safe and accessible, especially to those who are “inflexible” or who may have a traumatic brain-injury.
Our well-trained instructors will deliver a secular style of yoga, focused on the proven mind-body benefits of yoga instead of the spiritual or philosophical aspects of yoga in order to make the class inclusive.
Warrior Yoga at the American Heritage Museum is taught by instructor, Steve Cannon. Steve served in the US Air Force from 1978 to 1984 as a Security Police Specialist and then joined the Reserves as an Air Cargo Specialist. His favorite duty station was a three year tour at Spangdahlem AFB in Germany. After his service, he went into the fitness and wellness industry. He has over 35 years of experience, as a fitness instructor/trainer, massage therapist, and yoga instructor.
Warrior Yoga at the American Heritage Museum takes place every Wednesday evening from 6:00pm to 7:00pm on the carpeted mezzanine level of the museum, overlooking the main galleries.
Registration is required for your initial class. Please see the Hudson, MA schedule at Warrior Within Yoga at this page and register for an upcoming Wednesday evening class.
