VETogi of the Month

Morgan Tadych, VETogi of the Month, August 2023
Morgan Tadych

Army Reservist

Morgan is a 2023 VETOGA 200hr graduate. She is currently transitioning out of the military and teaches classes in her hometown in Wisconsin. Morgan continues to deepen her personal practice through consistent asana and has developed a daily meditation practice since the teacher training.

“I discovered VETOGA a few years ago but didn’t have the opportunity to attend until this year. The sense of peace and community at the retreat was indescribable, and it showed me that it is ok to be somewhere on the healing path – not fully healed but working towards a better version of myself.”

VETogi of the Month

VETogi Stephanie Alvarez, May 2023
Stephanie Alvarez

United States Army Veteran

Stephanie United Stated Army Veteran Stephanie is a graduate of the VETOGA 500 RYT training. She is currently building a garden to teach monthly classes to the VETOGA community. “My yoga journey started in 2015. I dealt with a lot of mental health symptoms before VETOGA, and was disconnected from mind, body, and spirit. VETOGA helps me stay present, gives me peace and helps me stay connected to my community. Being a part of VETOGA keeps me grounded and has given me more than I can write.

“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.”
