    Great data & entertaining to read

    Posted by Katy Pollock on Apr 21st 2022

    The Conscious Warrior is a down-to-earth and very informative book that shines a light into first responder culture. The author integrated her fire-family background to create a yoga and wellness program for firefighters. Entertaining stories are weaved through her journey of developing an impactful and measurable program for agencies. The years of data measuring the effect of yoga on chronic stress and common injuries clearly shows that yoga provides positive mental and physical support. This is a great read for fire chiefs, government agency human resource professionals, yoga teachers, and anyone who wants to understand and support first responders.
