What we are up to!
June Swimathon Fundraising
Founder, Nick Perez, is committed to swimming 22 miles for the month of June. Why 22? It’s the average of Veteran lives lost each year due to suicide. The intention is to raise awareness and funds for future projects. All are welcome to donate or join in!
Anusara Immersion
Anusara Hatha Yoga is an integrative system of anatomical alignment, breath work, mental reframe, and community.
For Veterans with physical disabilities, the slow and methodical emphasis on hip, spine, shoulder, and neck alignment allows for a reduction of pain while toning the muscular system. Coordinating the breath with movement regulates the Autonomic nervous system creating a sense of confident calm.
The unique mental reframes and positive message while in the process of intentional movement, anchors one’s ability to navigate life’s challenges with a sense of resilience. And the emphasis of community, allows Veterans to have a sense of belonging. As Anusara”s facilities grow in Sarasota County, multi week immersions provide Veterans an opportunity to experience yoga in a whole new way that grounds in the basics and allows Veterans to increase their skill and confidence over time while healing the body and mind.
Partnership
Ronin Relief is still in its early stages and committed to building partnership with local organizations dedicated to serving Veterans. Most notably, in Sarasota is SRQ Vets which provides support to Veteran families, and VA Law that supports Veterans in navigating their service-connected disabilities and the VA system.
