Yoga For First Responders

Yoga for First Responders is founded and directed by Olivia Kvitne.

The aim of this program is to empower our domestic soldiers (EMS, Firefighters, Police Officers) with powerful mindfulness practices for cultivating resilience to stress and peak performance on the job.

By bringing yoga, meditation and mindfulness training to first responders across the nation, we can offer these individuals valuable tools to help them stay present and observant of their minds and bodies at times of intense stress.

These practices can also support individuals who are experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress or secondary traumatic stress due to the life-or-death situations they face in the line of duty.

Both the program and the trainings are led by Program Director Olivia Kvitne, a yoga teacher who has worked with first responders in Los Angeles, and Des Moines, IA.
