Brianna Renner, a Marine Corps veteran, is the CEO of Veterans Yoga Project, where she leads efforts to support veterans' mental and physical health through yoga and mindfulness practices. Before joining the Marines, she was a ballet dancer, and today she continues to share her love for dance by teaching classes. Though her first experience with yoga wasn't love at first sight, she’s now been teaching yoga for over 14 years and has spent a decade bringing yoga to veterans at the VA.
