YOU'VE ARRIVED.
10-23 Yoga is tactical yoga for first responders, by a first responder. 10-23 is a radio code to announce we've arrived at scene. It means help has arrived. Also used in casual cop talk as simply, "I'm 23," to indicate you've arrived somewhere. Coincidentally, 10-23 is the date I arrived into the world (my birthday). But in our bodies, arrival doesn't always happen. First responders are often on duty, long after shift ends. Tight jaw, tense shoulders, hypervigilant. 10-23 Yoga is where that changes.
From shooting position postures for police, to lunges and shoulder stretches for firefighters, and heart-openers for paramedics, I design classes that combine the traditional teachings of yoga with the unique needs of first responders. Through breathing techniques and challenging postures, 10-23 Yoga helps you discover the ability to calm your nervous system, even during times of increased heart rate and stress. Your practice on the mat can result in a calmer response on the frontline — something I have experienced firsthand.
Come practise with me, and the next time you pick up the radio, tell dispatch that you're 10-23. You've Arrived.
