Movement

Movement

Movement is a vital part of living a balanced life. The body holds more than strength and endurance. It also holds emotions, experiences, and trauma. Many veterans carry stress and unresolved experiences in the body long after service ends. Without intentional movement and regulation, that stored tension can remain stagnant and impact mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.

At BVN, we believe movement is one of the most practical and accessible tools for releasing stress, restoring balance, and reconnecting with the body. This does not require extreme workouts or rigid routines. It starts with finding forms of movement that feel supportive, sustainable, and even enjoyable.

What Movement Can Look Like

Movement can be structured or simple. It may include yoga, strength training, functional fitness, breathwork, or guided classes. It can also be as accessible as walking your dog, hiking in nature, swimming, stretching, or committing to a daily challenge like 44 push-ups for suicide awareness. Whatever your entry point, consistent movement supports both physical health and emotional resilience.

The goal is not perfection or performance. The goal is consistency and intention. Small, regular changes can create meaningful impact over time.

Classes & Resources

BVN offers wellness and movement-based classes led by qualified professionals, designed to give veterans an introductory understanding of different practices and the confidence to explore what works best for them. Class topics include movement, mindfulness, fitness, nutrition, financial wellness, and other complementary areas that support whole-person balance.

Live classes are available alongside a growing library of recorded sessions and resources within our private network, allowing members to learn and engage at their own pace.

Movement as a Foundation

Movement supports cardiovascular health, mobility, nervous system regulation, and emotional wellbeing. More importantly, it helps veterans reconnect with their bodies in a way that builds awareness, confidence, and agency. When movement is approached as self-care rather than obligation, it becomes a sustainable part of daily life.

Our community is here to support you. Share your goals. Celebrate progress. Work through challenges. Try something new. Movement is not about doing more. It is about building balance, one step at a time.
