Police recruits taught yoga to deal with stress of job
Posted: November 24, 2012 at 7:45 am
In an effort to give them a leg up for the job and eventual retirement, the Police Academy has started innovated sessions on financial planning and yoga for recruits.
It is unlikely recruits will nod off during the sessions: one is taught by the commander of the Central Patrol Operations District, the other by the chief.
Its another thing for their tool belt, Chief Richard Biehl said. If youre on the job for 25 years or five years your better have more in in your tool belt than your service weapon, Taser, pepper spray. Traditionally we have done a poor job of preparing them for the human tragedy and suffering they will face.
Biehl exposes the recruits to yoga as a way to deal with that stress and the physical and emotional pain that comes with the job.
Maj. Larry Faulkner exposes the recruits to goal-setting so that they can eventually retire, or move on, financially secure.
Ive seen officers lose their houses, lose their cars amass a huge amount of debt because of medical costs, said Faulkner, who retires at the first of the year. That puts some officers in a bad position that can lead to illegal, corrupt behavior.
There are plenty of ways to handle that without victimizing people.
Numerous studies over the past four decades show police officers have a higher rate of suicide, depression, injury and disability than the general population. In addition the life expectancy of officers after retirement is shorter.
Its critical for police officers to have self-management tools. We dont understand the health impacts of the environment we work in the emotional, physical, psychological toll, Biehl said. It is only when we reach a crisis we realize we havent been coping.
Biehl said he believes yoga can assist in managing an officers stress, just as Faulkner believes planning for a financial future can lead to a better retirement.

Gwyneth Paltrow creates yoga top
Posted: at 7:45 am
Gwyneth Paltrow has teamed up with BEYOND YOGA to create her "dream top".
The yoga fanatic's latest collaboration in the fashion and beauty world will be sold exclusively on her lifestyle blog goop.
The actress has spoken about her reasons for creating the limited edition workout items with the luxury lifestyle brand.
"I've always wanted a one shouldered exercise top and could never find one so we've collaborated with BEYOND YOGA (who make really chic, comfortable, perfect exercise gear) to make my dream top!" Gwyneth gushed in her Thanksgiving email to her goop followers.
The star has come up with a quilted one shoulder yoga top and quilted side panel long legging.
Gwyneth explained more about why her creations are different to other yoga activity clothing available.
"Made from a luxurious high-tech fabric for active wear - Supplex - this one-shoulder cami is great because it's quick drying and offers stretch without stretching out, keeping in shape even after a workout," Gwyneth gushed. "Subtle monochromatic quilting adds stylish detail to this soft yet durable top."
As well as promoting her latest design collaboration, the wife of Coldplay star Chris Martin revealed what she plans to get her husband for his Christmas present this year.
The exercise fan joked that she has been saving up for an at home SoulCycle, which is the hit US fitness craze.
Although she plans to buy the bike for Chris, Gwyneth hinted it'll be her who gets the most out of it.

Little lungs can inhale and exhale deep breaths and pint-sized warrior poses build focus and stamina.
Jessica Bond wasn't sure what to expect when she found out a new grant would mean guest yoga instructors once a week in her classroom at Cooper Elementary School, 1808 S. 123rd East Ave.
"It is far better than I ever imagined. My students use the calming techniques they have learned all the time, and we remind them of it sometimes," Bond said.
A nonprofit organization called Resource Education for Calming, Energizing, Self-Awareness and Self-Regulation, or RECESS, sends instructors into a host of local schools to promote health and wellness. It is funded through a grant from the Tulsa Area Community Schools Initiative.
The program is based on the national Yoga Ed model and aims to improve academics through fitness, emotional intelligence, stress management and self-regulation, according to Director Elizabeth Barlow.
Cooper Principal Joy Modenbach said the yoga classes are helpful even for young children because it builds coordination and dexterity and teaches them about organized movement.
Once a week, Bond, the classroom teacher, watches from the sidelines as a yoga instructor comes in and takes over her charges for 30 minutes of age-appropriate yoga.
On a recent morning, Cameron Dennis led a session in which the prekindergarteners learned about the meaning of the word "finesse."
Instead of sticky floor mats, students kept their place by standing or sitting on shiny star cut-outs.

Online Life Coaching
If you buy a household appliance or a computer you generally get a book with detailed instructions on how to use the item. The human-being, unfortunately doesn #39;t come with instructions and we have to rely on our parents to steer us in the right direction. Often our parents are ill-equipped for this task as they have come from families that are dysfunctional themselves, and really just don #39;t know how. The latest trend of life coaching is the way to go in order for you to find direction in your life.
