Ep 28: The Power of Yoga

When you think law enforcement, “yoga” is not often the first word that comes to mind. However, yoga is being used to heal our officers right here in our own backyard. 

The Three Rivers Yoga Foundation in Fort Wayne, IN has developed “Hero’s Yoga.” A unique class offered to first responders, police, fire, military, veterans and heath care workers and their spouses at Baptiste Power Yoga Fort Wayne. It is a unique class promoting mental, physical, emotional and spiritual healing along with mindfulness thinking. 

Since police officers spend most of their days in a constant state of fight or flight, unable to come down from a hyper-state of alertness, yoga can help. Yoga helps them (and you) tap into their parasympathetic nervous system; the rest and digest system. When you tap into your rest and digest system, you can reach a calming, present place. 

Many officers have said these classes are “life changing.” On and off the mat.
