This Veterans Week 2026, we're honoring members of the Hot Yoga San Marcos community who have served. Steve served five years in the Army and was looking for something that would challenge him in a different way and give him a chance to slow down, clear his head, and focus on himself.
A Different Kind of Challenge
I’ll be honest — my first class was harder than I expected! I thought my military background would make it easier, but it’s a completely different kind of challenge.
What surprised me most was how much it challenges you mentally, not just physically. It’s become a great way to release stress and reset.
Continuing to Serve the Veteran Community
I currently work for Veterans United Home Loans, helping fellow veterans and military families navigate the homebuying process and make the most of the VA home loan benefit.
His Message to Other Veterans
To any veteran who’s nervous: nobody is there to judge you. Go at your own pace and give it an honest try.
Thank you for your service, Steve.
Sweat with Vets is our Veterans Week series honoring members of our community who have served.
