Yoga, mindfulness healing local veterans with PTSD

A local yoga studio wants to honor fallen veterans and help veterans cope with PTSD.

Just Breathe Mindful Movement Studio in Johnstown is holding a meditation cushion-making event on Saturday April 28 from 3-5 p.m. followed by a meditation practice using the cushions.

The cushions will be used on Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery by visitors hoping to honor fallen veterans. Then, they will be given to veterans, including local veterans, who wish to start practicing mindfulness as a way to manage PTSD.

It’s part of the national non-profit Armor Down’s annual Mindful Memorial Day event and the Bridge Project, which bridges the gap between civilians and the military to honor fallen veterans using mindfulness.
