VETogi of the Month

Russ Owens, VETogi of the Month, May 2024
Russ Owens

United State Navy

Russ is a recent graduate of the VETOGA 200-hour teacher training. Since certification, he has shared yoga in a variety of settings, including the local studio, at which he regularly practices and at several veteran service organizations. Teaching yoga and meditation in the veteran community has been an incredibly rewarding experience. He has had the privilege of guiding veterans through practices designed to transform struggle into strength, using yoga as a tool for post-traumatic growth. He has witnessed the profound impact of yoga and meditation on veterans managing PTSD, anxiety, and depression. He is honored to support these heroes on their journeys toward healing and self- discovery.

“James Baldwin wrote, ‘The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light. Gentle work. Steadfast work. Life-saving work in those moments when life and shame and sorrow occlude our own light from our view, but there is still a clear-eyed loving person to beam it back. In our best moments, we are that person for another.’ VETOGA and those who represent it have been that light for me.”

VETogi of the Month

Antonio Williams

US Navy Veteran

Antonio is a graduate of VETOGA 200-hour teacher training in 2022. He completed his training with the veteran’s community in Los Angeles, ca teaching classes weekly to underserved vet with PTS(D) and disabilities. Now partnering with the VA Antonio has already gone on to take on a mentorship with one of the VA’s senior yoga teachers Mrs. Liza Ortiz this November and December. His mission is to be able to connect with veterans across the globe digitally; to serve vets with PTS(D)and depression and help hold space so they can be a part of this yoga practice we share.

“After failing 3 times to get my yoga teacher training done on my own, I found and turned to VETOGA after coming across them online. The VETOGA family reminded me what i set out on a mission for 3 years ago. It’s not just about teaching yoga it’s a way of being. Yoga for me is so intricate to my life and the foundation of who I am and want to become. Yoga has been my silver lining on times when it’s too hard to understand what’s going on. Yoga for me brings me a mental clarify and excitement that i can’t replace and that’s what i want to share with people. I didn’t find VETOGA, VETOGA found me again, it pulled me away from the edge and reminded me what yoga really means to me.”

Micah Norgard-Salas

United States Marine Corps Veteran

Micah is a graduate of the VETOGA 200. He currently teaches a practice once a month at his family’s homestead, Leroy’s Farm. At Leroy’s Farm, Micah continues to practice and deepen his understanding of self and purpose through farming with goats and chickens or having a hand with carpentry and woodworking.

“My journey started five years when I was suffering from extreme disassociation from the body and mind. It took me some social media posts and seeing a pattern of happiness or peace in those practicing yoga. Simple, but this set me on my path, which finally led me to VETOGA. Yoga taught me that we can achieve anything, but it takes time and patience. I have been able to translate this to every aspect of my life, and I couldn’t be more thankful for what this organization has given.”
