Description

In this episode of Quickcasts from Yoga for First Responders On Air, Eric challenges the myth that fitness alone defines readiness for first responders. While physical fitness is crucial, it's the mental aspects—your brain and breath—that truly keep you in the fight.

Join Eric as he discusses the concept of cognitive durability and its importance in tactical readiness. He shares real-world stories, scientific data, and insights on how training the nervous system can enhance performance and resilience in high-stress situations.

Discover how YFFR integrates neuroscience, breath science, and stress response psychology into our training programs, providing essential tools for first responders to manage stress and improve decision-making under pressure.

If you're ready to elevate your understanding of readiness beyond physical fitness, this episode is a must-listen!
