San Diego, CA – November 6, 2024: In a groundbreaking collaboration, San Diego-based OG Yoga and Florida-based Connected Warriors are joining forces to expand trauma-conscious yoga for service members -- active military personnel, veterans, first responders, as well as their families.
This exciting new pilot program unites Connected Warriors, a leading provider of evidence-based trauma-conscious yoga therapy, with OG Yoga, a San Diego non-profit specializing in trauma-informed yoga for special populations.
The program will offer accessible yoga classes specifically designed to address the unique challenges faced by the service community, including PTSD and reintegration difficulties.
Leading the initiative is James (Jimmy) Stahl, GySgt USMC (ret), who is a graduate of both organizations. Stahl will lead weekly classes at OG Yoga Studio in San Diego, with options for both in-studio and virtual participation. Classes will be held every Friday at 6pm at a low intro rate of just $15.

"This partnership allows us to empower warriors across the country on their paths to healing and transformation," says Judy Weaver, Co-Founder of Connected Warriors. JoAnn Jaffe, Founder of OG Yoga, adds, "By combining our resources and expertise, we can create meaningful change for our service community."
The pilot program will run through December 2025, with plans to evaluate expansion opportunities throughout California and Florida. Notably, OG Yoga will become Connected Warriors' West Coast hub for training, partnerships, and classes.
