Firefighting can take a huge mental toll on the first responders. The city of Bryan is hoping to mitigate the mental health effects on its firefighters with the Well(th) Initiative program.
With the Well(th) Initiative Program, Bryan firefighters will work to keep mentally and physically fit so they can continue to keep the community safe.
The tactical yoga training sessions are a part of the Well(th) Initiative. The training sessions will take place Tuesday through Thursday at Bryan Fire Stations 1, 2 and 5 and is offered to the entire Bryan Fire Department. The co-founder of the program, Greg Propst, said the program focuses on 3 areas: fitness and prevention, nutrition, injury rehab, and recovery and stress.
