Kristopher Pace is a 100% permanently and totally disabled U.S. Air Force veteran who found healing through yoga after facing the painful realities of PTSD, depression, and the isolating aftermath of military service. Like so many veterans, Kris returned home with invisible wounds that traditional treatments failed to fully address. Therapy, medication, and coping mechanisms weren’t enough. It wasn’t until he discovered yoga — through breath work, mindful movement, and deep self-exploration — that he began to reconnect with himself and reclaim his life. Yoga didn’t just help Kris survive; it gave him the tools to heal, grow, and truly live again.

That personal transformation sparked a deeper calling: to help other veterans find their own path to peace, purpose, and wholeness. Vets2Yoga was born not just from a desire to teach yoga, but from the urgent need to build a bridge between the warrior and the world they return to — one rooted in compassion, community, and understanding.

Today, Kris dedicates his life to empowering fellow veterans through trauma-informed yoga, holistic wellness education, and real, human connection. He speaks openly about his journey and leads with vulnerability, strength, and hope — because he knows what it’s like to feel lost, and what it takes to find your way back. Through Vets2Yoga, Kris is turning pain into purpose and forging a new path forward for veterans and the families who love them.
