Originally conceived by Dr. Bibiji Inderjit Kaur Khalsa to honor the selfless service of First Responders in our society, Bibiji wanted to give back something to this community of super heros to show her deep and indescribable gratitude for the times that they came to take care of her husband, Yogi Bhajan, when he was sick.

The Create Inner Peace and Resiliency program is a landmark project pioneered by the State of New Mexico to offer First Responders classes in yoga and meditation to help them manage their own recovery from Critical Incident Stress (CIS).
