Yoga is one positive coping mechanism, right, and it happened to be what saved me, and it happens to be like something I know I can recreate and I can train other people, and once they're trained, they can turn around and reach a whole demographic that I couldn't reach.
What happens when a Marine veteran discovers the healing power of yoga? In this episode of 'Action is Recovery', Mike catches up with his old friend Justin Blazejewski, the founder of VETOGA. Justin's journey from military service to becoming a yoga instructor is nothing short of inspiring. He opens up about his own battles with addiction and mental health, revealing how yoga and mindfulness practices became his lifeline. But Justin didn't stop there.
He founded VETOGA to offer these same benefits to other veterans and their families. VETOGA's mission is to create a supportive community where military members can practice yoga, meditate, and engage in healing arts together. This episode dives deep into the unique challenges veterans face when transitioning to civilian life and how finding a sense of belonging can make all the difference.
Justin shares touching stories of how VETOGA has helped veterans manage PTSD, anxiety, and other mental health issues through yoga. If you're curious about the transformative power of yoga or looking for ways to support veterans, this episode is a must-listen. It's a heartfelt conversation that sheds light on the importance of community, support, and finding healthy coping mechanisms.
