Friends of Firefighters hosts free yoga workshops. Classes are taught by Claire Diab, founder of the American Yoga Academy. Firefighters and spouses learn exercises designed to boost energy, enhance breathing, and increase relaxation. Participants receive booklets and DVDs describing each of the techniques, so that yoga can be carried over into everyday life.
Claire E. Diab is an internationally renowned Yoga Therapist, Fitness Specialist and Inspirational Speaker with over twenty years of experience. Firefighters use Claire’s powerful breathing techniques and physical strengthening routines to maintain optimal good health. Her unique style of yoga incorporates movement, breathing, relaxation, and meditation.
“Firefighters today face extraordinary conditions that were not present years ago. Due to stricter regulations, heavier gear, and undue stress, firefighters need to be physically strong and mentally fit…Helping firefighters prepare their core is an essential way to further reduce physical and stress related injuries. Claire has created a fitness routine that will help the fire service achieve this goal.” Fire Chief
