We at Bellwood Health Services wanted to establish a regular Yoga class for our inpatient Addiction and PTSD/OSI stream.

We were connected with Jaimie through the YogaFit for Warriors Ambassadors program, who has been fantastic in facilitating classes for a 13 week period. She also trained our own Yoga instructor so that we can continue the Warrior-specific classes. My own experience is limited but judging by the few times I actually was able to attend Jaimie’s classes I was impressed and comforted by her soothing and calming instructions and by the way her yoga positions were put into a flow. She was also able to create a rapport with our client population. She was extremely helpful and open to our program limitations and was well-received by our clients, so much so that everyone was looking forward to her classes on a weekly basis. In addition, everyone appeared committed and excited to continue Yoga in their own communities.

Great job Jaimie, and thanks to the Warriors program for bringing this class into our facility!
