What our students say about us

""I joined this challenge because I made a promise to myself to be more intentional about improving my health, in all aspects. Yoga is also a practice that I have been wanting to integrate into my life for some time now, so I was excited about this challenge. Thank
you for having me and to all the amazing people that put this together. I’m so happy and grateful!

“I currently live in Montana, I’m a veteran of the USCG and am semi-retired from a public safety career with a federal agency. Over my career I became an advocate for Veteran/First Responder health and wellness- including using yoga and meditation as healing and stress management tools. I’ll talk to anyone about VETOGA who will listen.”
JOHN VONK
“Now you have a light it never has to be dark again.” Even in the dark I can see a way out, I have gratitude in the struggle, and no matter what happens I have a family with VETOGA.”
