Description

WHAT IS YOGA?

Yoga is a traditional practice used to gain mastery over the psychophysiological system. It incorporates both physical and mental drills, which when practiced consistently have been shown to release stress and trauma stored within the mind and body.

 

WHY YOGA FOR FIRST RESPONDERS?

Yoga For First Responders® (YFFR) is job specific and culturally informed. YFFR uses mental and physical training techniques to improve resilience and strengthen the mind and body. The YFFR Protocol targets areas in the body that hold tension (low back and hip from a gun belt or SCBA, upper back from a vest, etc.) alleviating the cumulative stress that accompanies this specific line of work. This leads to peak performance on the job and supports a thriving personal life off-duty.
