Yoga-Based Classes for Veterans With Severe Mental Illness: Development, Dissemination, and Assessment

Funding for the development of BSR protocols, quality improvement research, and expenses associated with classes was provided by the Disabled American Veterans Charitable Service Trust. Support for dissemination of classes to multiple VA programs was provided by a grant from the VA Center of Innovation for Patient Centered Care, headed by Sandra Robertson, RN, MSN, PH-CNS.

The authors are very grateful to the veterans and staff of the Mental Health Intensive Case Management, Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Recovery Centers, Mental Health Clinics, and Domiciliary throughout Greater Los Angeles for their support of the BSR classes.
