Warriors at Ease

Providing trauma-informed, adaptive yoga training and practices to support veterans and the military community.

The Warriors at Ease (WAE) mission and work began in 2009 as early research studies at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center as well as VA Medical Centers in Washington D.C. and Miami, involving the use of yoga and meditation as an adjunct therapy. The success of these studies paved the way for the WAE training curriculum. The success of our training and the expansion of our Global Teac

her Network is creating sustainable access to mindfulness and evidence-based services in support of initiatives within the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) dedicated to the unique needs of the military population. WAE and our Teacher Network continue to lead the industry in support of both the military and civic sectors maintaining the quality, efficacy, and access to mission-essential training and educational resources. Access to these bottom-up, evidence-based approaches is critical to ensuring both immediate and long term health, resilience, and post-traumatic growth for individuals and communities currently suffering from a loss of connection.

On this Tax Day, we're taking a moment to remember and honor our beloved Board Member Bill Turco — and the Turco family legacy that continues to inspire what we do. 💙

Bill was a man of few words, but every one of them counted. A proud member of a long military lineage, a devoted advocate for service members and their families, and someone who never lost his love for cars, motorcycles, and military history — he was, simply, one of a kind. He always knew how to bring a smile to the room.

On days like today, we feel his absence — and his presence — all at once. Thank you, Bill, and the entire Turco family, for your enduring support of Warriors at Ease.

Honoring the strength behind the uniform 💚

April is Military Child Month, and at Warriors at Ease, we recognize the resilience, adaptability, and quiet courage of military children everywhere.

These young heroes navigate change, separation, and uncertainty—often with remarkable strength and heart. Their resilience inspires the work we do every day.

Through trauma-informed yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, we are committed to supporting the entire military community—including the families who serve alongside.

💙 This month, we honor you.
💚 We see you.
🙏 We thank you.

Practicing together can create a powerful sense of connection.

In spaces designed with the military community in mind, yoga becomes less about poses and more about presence. Moving, breathing, and simply sharing the experience alongside others can be meaningful in its own way. When choice and awareness are part of the practice, students are able to participate in ways that feel right for them.

Grounded in military cultural awareness and trauma-informed best practices, our training equips teachers to serve with clarity, competence, and compassion.

You can watch the full class through the link in our bio, or directly on Susie’s YouTube channel.

Our trauma-informed approach is designed to support the military community with accessible practices centered in choice and steady guidance.
