What We Do

Our Yoga Teacher Training program was established to support America’s Elite Military families.  

The passion to serve the Special Operations community comes from a place that is near and dear to our hearts.  For over two decades, our team has experienced the unique challenges that these families endure.  Lotus River Wellness aims to bridge the gap between injury, treatment, recovery, and reintegration by offering Yoga Teacher Training programs that optimize physical, mental, and emotional well-being while improving resiliency and enhancing performance.  Ultimately, by integrating the needs of the body, mind, and spirit – the community will receive deeper levels of healing and wellness for a lifetime.

In a journey of recovery and reintegration, we believe it is crucial to recognize that a service member is not isolated, but often, they are part of a family. On average, Special Operators are 31 years old and married with two children.  These families face the probability of the current 90% divorce rate.  Statistically speaking, if we continue to focus solely on isolating one’s healing, without also considering the impact on and involvement of the family, we’ll continue to risk the long-term success of reintegration.  The struggles faced by the community are shared by their loved ones.  We’d like to address the needs of the entire family – emotionally, mentally, and even socially.  We intend to create a network that strengthens everyone involved.  At the current rate, the challenges navigated independently are creating fractures within their own family unit, making it difficult to sustain true healing.  By treating the family as part of the solution, it allows us to lay a foundation for lasting stability, resilience, and reintegration as they navigate life’s next chapter. 

Lotus River Wellness would be honored if our program became a foundational requirement to those entering the Special Operations community.  Beyond the mental discipline, physical benefits, emotional resilience, and heightened self-awareness that is gained through yoga, families would receive invaluable tools that would provide a deeper sense of mindfulness and balance as they navigate high-stress situations.  

By completing our training program, service members and their families will be well equipped to share the gift of yoga with others.  To offer personal and professional development, but also empower them to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those closest to them.  By providing access to quality yoga education, we’ll foster a diverse and supportive yoga community that aligns with the goals and values of families from all backgrounds.  

Lotus River Wellness delivers the tools that facilitate profound transformation, and nurtures physical, mental, and emotional well-being.  It is our promise to create opportunities for personal growth, inclusivity, and to further empower this community to become catalysts for positive change.  Through this, we can truly embody the spirit of yoga – unity, compassion, and service to others.
