Capt. Dustin K., Sheriff's Dept. (CA)Aerient is Latin for conscious breath. It's built on a simple idea: breath, trained deliberately, is a skill, not a stretch.
The YFFR protocol layers four disciplines, rooted in the same tradition as yoga, but restructured specifically for the realities of the job. A local yoga teacher can offer you the first. The other three aren't a typical yoga class at all. In our randomized controlled trial, PTSD symptom improvements held up three months after training for those at subthreshold risk.
The foundation. How we access the nervous system to regulate and bring the body into coherence.
Strength and mobility work that trains the body to perform under pressure.
Reframing that shifts perception of an experience from threat to challenge.
After action regulation. Integrating the lessons of what just happened.
A 30 second daily readiness check in with recovery protocols. Then go deeper with the Breath Challenge or YFFR University whenever you're ready.
Get certified to teach YFFR to the people around you. Responders, veterans, and civilians are all welcome. No prior yoga experience necessary.
Applied neuroscience for high stress professions. From free individual adoption to agency wide licensing, ROI reporting, and training your own instructors.
Evaluated in a randomized controlled trial against a control group, not just self reported feedback.
Designed for the realities of the job: squad cars, shift briefings, the field.
With Aerient, agencies see participation and ROI, not guesswork.
