Season 10 of Sirens, Slammers, and Service is here — and we’re starting strong! Host Nikki Cloutier sits down with Janine Mills, a Peace Officer and certified Yoga for First Responders (YFFR) instructor, to explore how this groundbreaking program is reshaping wellness for those on the front lines.
Janine explains how YFFR blends traditional yoga principles with job-specific tools like three-part breath, warrior drills, and tactical mind-body resilience training. From truck bays to station floors, YFFR gives police, EMS, firefighters, and military members practical techniques to process stress, improve focus, and prevent PTSD — all backed by solid research.
