HNSA's fleet includes over 188 member vessels located in 39 countries across five continents.
Join USS KIDD, the Mayor’s Advisory Council on Veterans Affairs, and Yoga with Brandi for our FREE monthly partnership yoga class. While designed for Veterans, Active Military, and First Responders, along with their supporters and families, ANYONE and EVERYONE may attend. This basic functional yoga class combines easy and accessible postures with relaxation techniques focused on breathing, stretching, strengthening and stability for all bodies, all abilities, all skeptics, and is adaptable to injuries. No previous yoga experience is required, so it’s perfect for beginners.
Research has shown that many forms of yoga and mindfulness can not only improve physical health and healing but can possibly reduce the effects of PTSD, anxiety, addictions, insomnia, and other mental conditions in addition to increasing mindfulness, flexibility, balance, mobility, and strength.
Everyone is encouraged to try this yoga practice in our beautiful, private, safe, non-intimidating museum overlooking the Mississippi River and USS KIDD with our caring, knowledgeable instructor, Brandi Hanson. Please bring your own yoga mat. Admission is FREE and open to the public.
