Salt River Fire Academy Class 08-01 "First Class" is proudly representing the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community as the first full academy class for the community. Our goal as the fitness development team for the academy is to provide a program of constantly varied functional movements to prepare the firefighters for the rigorous and physically demanding job of emergency services. Exposing our recruits to Bikram Yoga is a fantastic way to show them an alternate activity to the traditional conditioning they may be used to. Bikram Yoga can provide a practice for flexibility, postural strength, mental focus and stress relief that is not present in traditional training methods.

We are very excited and thankful that Andrea Griego and Scottsdale Bikram Yoga institute has allowed us to come take part in a Yoga class. Our hope is that through exposing our recruits to yoga we can create stronger more prepared firefighters that will remain healthy throughout their twenty-plus years of service.

Thank You!
