Create Inner Peace and Resiliency

First Yoga and Meditation Course Series Completed

In November and December 2006, the Create Inner Peace team completed a six-week introduction series for First Responders. This landmark project pioneered by the State of New Mexico offered First Responders FREE classes in learning the technology of Yoga and Meditation. Students completing the course were amazed at the results and commented that after taking only a few of the classes, they were better able to manage and recover from symptoms Critical Incident Stress.

The State of New Mexico, through approval by the New Mexico EMS Bureau for Continuing Education, offered 12 CE credits to employees completing 12 sessions.

You can still attend a yoga course through one of our affiliated Yoga Studios, or if you would like information of how you can set up yoga courses for your department, please contact us.
