VETOGA’S partner for Wellness Retreats: Ojas Retreat Center
Free Yoga in Southern California
If you live in Southern California, join us at Yoga on State for a special community yoga class led by Marine Corps veteran and VETOGA CEO, Justin Blazejewski.
Free event to all service members, veterans, law enforcement, emergency responders, and their families. Suggested donation class for civilians who want to join and support VETOGA, active military, and veterans. All are welcome!!! Register here to join us
Our mission is to provide yoga, meditation, and healing arts to military, veterans, their families, and communities. We seek to build a supportive community, of both veterans and non-veterans, and to provide an opportunity to experience a wide variety of the Healing Arts.
We will start with an all-levels yoga class available to everyone. We will stretch, breathe and cultivate our connection with body-heart-mind-spirit. The class concludes with Yoga Nidra, a deep relaxation that aims to release that which no longer serves us.
Donations will go to VETOGA Incorporated, a healing arts program that services our veterans and their care providers. VETOGA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and all donations are tax-exempt.

VETogi of the Month
Haley Pope
US Navy Veteran
Haley is a graduate of the VETOGA 200. She currently is not actively teaching but does volunteer work with VETOGA weekly to help streamline incoming VETOGI’s and graduates as well. She does a self yoga practice at her home in Virginia Beach (tons of sunrise yoga) 😉 and currently is activated in the Navy Reserve in Virginia Beach. She enjoys baking, going to church, and spending time with friends and family (preferably at the beach).
“My journey with VETOGA started in 2019 before I left for deployment. I had been practicing yoga for 4 years by then and it had become part of my daily routine. I found VETOGA and reached out to Justin to see when the next training was. It was scheduled for May of 2020 and I was still going to be on deployment. Justin assured me that it “would all work itself out” and “to trust the process.” COVID happened-post poning that training until November of 2020. Yoga and my Faith saved my life on deployment, and at the end of deployment I was finishing my time up active duty and I knew that the first thing I wanted and needed to do was this training. I trusted the process, and was able to attend the November 2020 training where VETOGA changed my life in 5 days. I carry all the tools I learned from this training, daily in all aspects of my life.
