Programs and Classes | Yoga for the Front Line

THE YFL TOOLKIT

The UK's first yoga based tactical training for stress management and wellbeing. The goal of the program is to reduce the impact felt by conditions like chronic stress and PTSD. This is achieved through stress awareness training using the tools of yoga, breath and mindfulness.

These are not generic practices, they are tailored for those who work or have worked in a front line role, where repeated stress and trauma exposure happen regularly. The core topics for the protocol are highlighted below.

WORKSHOP 1 - BREATH TO SUCCESS-2_edited.

The Breath - Techniques working in support of the nervous system.

Core Integrated Movement - Musculoskeletal health and injury prevention.

WORKSHOP 2 - CORE INTEGRATED MOVEMENT-2.jpg

Listening through stillness - Techniques including Meditation and Yin Yoga

WORKSHOP 4 - TRANSITION BASED MOVEMENT.jpg

Mindfulness through Transitional Movement - A trauma informed approach.

WORKSHOP 2 - CORE INTEGRATED MOVEMENT.jpg

Challenge & Recovery - Strength and stillness. Moving from active to passive in the body.

Creating space where tension remains - the techniques of myofascial release.

We have a variety of toolkits based on the needs of the individuals in your teams or wider support within the community.

RESPOND: A STRESS EDUCATION YOGA TRAINING PROGRAM

Our vision is for all those training in front line roles to have access to our tools to support not only their training but their future wellbeing. This is based on our foundation 8 week pilot program. We know times and tools needed will vary based on the role in training so this is discussed and agreed at the start.

The programs run in joint collaboration with organisations to provide a program that integrates into training. A standard 8 week program costs £1,900 including consultation, creation, administration, delivery & reporting.

WORKSHOPS AND WELLBEING:

We tailor specific workshops and sessions for your team building and wellbeing days / events. Prices can start as little as £200 for a catalog session and up to £1200 for a bespoke full day. If we have availability we are happy to attend online festivals within your organisation to raise awareness. These types of sessions are funded by the organisation and all profits go into our funding pot supporting our funded New Recruit or Community Programs.

COMMUNITY CLASSES:

Our newest addition are the community classes being launched in the South West. Venues are currently being sourced. These are fully funded to ensure they are free to all Front Line Workers and means we build a pool of teachers with skills that match our protocols i.e. trauma informed, inclusive and accessible.

ONLINE COMMUNITY:

Not only do we have a YouTube Channel which offers insights, information and practices which is accessible for all, we are about to launch our first national live weekly class. More details to follow. We also tailor 4 week online programs that can be run internally within your organisation.
