Yoga and Meditation Classes to Be Offered to First Responders
Download press release to learn about program startup: PDF or MSWord

Dr. Bibiji Inderjit Kaur Khalsa (Bibiji), developed this program to honor the selfless service of First Responders in our society, including physicians, hospital staff, police officers, firefighters, search and rescue personnel, emergency medical technicians, 911 dispatch operators, and other community members.

For more than 3,000 years of recorded history, the care, maintenance, and preservation of the human body have been taught through yoga and meditation in the East. Kundalini Yoga is based on the ancient science of yoga according to the teachings of Dr. Yogi Bhajan (1929-2004), Bibiji's husband of 52 years, who taught Kundalini Yoga throughout the world.

Today, we find a growing body of scientific evidence, which shows that the technology of yoga and meditation can have immediate and far-reaching impact in establishing a clear, calm, focused, and healthy state of being, even for individuals who are in the midst of intense, high-pressure situations on a regular basis in their daily lives. In the Create Inner Peace project, we present the technology of Kundalini Yoga.

This program is being offered by the New Mexico Office of Health and Emergency Management

Three Phases of the "Create Inner Peace" Program

In its entirety, this program will have three phases of services for First Responders:

Phase 1: Before Events Classes Focus on Preventive Maintenance

Ongoing classes will be offered by certified Kundalini Yoga Teachers, along with a self-instruction manual, in stress reduction techniques for First Responders. Specific Kundalini Yoga practices have been selected to build up mental and physical endurance and teach First Responders how to apply self recovery following an event, and assist victims of trauma.

Phase 2: After Events, Recovery Assistance

Following an event, meditation teachers will offer assistance in applying Kundalini Yoga technology during debriefings to help during recovery from the trauma and deep stress that may follow critical incidents.

Phase 3: Train the Trainers Program

Candidates will be identified during the initial program who have the interest and qualifications to become instructors in the technology. A training program will be offered to certify those candidates as approved instructors in Kundalini Yoga.
