Congrats to Our New 2023 Graduates!

VETOGA Teacher Training Grads for Spring 2023 — Pictured above

Help us in congratulating our VETOGA 200-hour teacher training graduates from our 2023 class! From May to June this year, we had 13 new students participate and graduate from our Spring teacher training program. In May, these students attended and completed over 150 hours of online training and daily practice through VETOGA’s online institute. Then, they attended a 6-day in-person immersion portion of the training where they taught daily yoga classes to sharpen and hone their teaching skills. They are now in their internship portion of the program where they will teach 10 classes and have a daily asana, pranayama, japa, and mediation practice where they will finish their 200-hours certifications.

VETogi of the Month

Luis Murillo

US Air Force Staff NCO

Luis is a graduate of VETOGA’s 200hr teacher Training program. He currently hosts The Ordinary Yogi, a podcast that dives into the teachings of yoga and shares them through personal stories and guest interviews. Luis continues his practice with shorter asana and meditation practices early in the morning before his son wakes up.

“Before VETOGA, I had a superficial understanding about yoga. Going through the training I learned that yoga is SO MUCH more than poses. Once I left the training, I felt so driven to share these teachings with anyone that would listen. Additionally, the program introduced me to so many kind people, it was a wonderful experience finding such a supportive tribe.”
